Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Notebook control
Use this control to subdivide the contents of a screen into logical groups or categories. Notebooks provide an aesthetic way of organizing large amounts of data into small spaces.
Click to the right of the last tab on the notebook to open the notebook properties. Click the tab and then the blank area below the tab to open the notebook tab properties.
To place a notebook on a form, click Notebook and then click the form.
Best practice
Do not place notebooks next to other form elements or other notebooks.
Property | Usage |
---|---|
Name | Specify a unique identifier for the object on the screen. (Optional) This name is used by external applications, such as RAD, to dynamically change the properties of the object. |
X | Specify the object’s horizontal position based on the left edge of the object. |
Y | Specify the object’s vertical position based on the top edge of the object. |
Width | Specify the width of the object in alignment grid units. |
Height | Specify the height of the object in alignment grid units. |
Visible | Select this option to make the object visible on the form. Clear the check box to hide the object from view on the form. |
Visible Condition | Specify an expression to override the Visible property when that expression evaluates to true. |
Tab Stop | Specify the tab sort order for this field. By default, the TAB key navigates the focus on a form from top to bottom and left to right. Objects that have a non-zero Tab Stop are visited first, in ascending order. For a button, file, radio button or check box, you will almost always use the default of 0. |
Group rendering enabled | Causes the notebook to be displayed as a group rather than a tabbed notebook. The contents of each tab are displayed as separate sections of the group. The notebook tabs that were arranged from left to right inside the notebook are displayed from top to bottom in the group. |
Heading Level |
Specify the heading level for this control so that a corresponding HTML heading tag (<h1> to <h6>) is generated. Note This function is only supported by the Web client. |
