Link label control

Use this control to add a label that includes a caption and an icon that links to another source.

To place a link label on a form, click Link label and then click the form.
Be sure to put the name of the database field or variable that you want to associate with this control into the Input property.

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.
Caption Specify a text caption for the object.
Caption Condition Specify an expression to override the Caption property when that expression evaluates to true.
Input Specify the database field or variable to associate with this control.
Accessible Name Specify a component name for use with accessibility software. (Optional)

Note: This function is only supported by the Web client.

If no name is present, the Web client defaults to looking for a nearby label to use for the name of the component. For buttons, check boxes, or radio buttons, it uses the component’s text. Accessibility software can query the Web client to get this information and use it to present data to the user in a variety of ways. For example, speech simulation software says the name and the type of component when the component has focus.
Accessible Description Specify a component description for use with accessibility software. (Optional)

Note: This function is only supported by the Web client.

If no description is present, the Web client defaults to looking for a nearby label to use for the name of the component. For buttons, check boxes, or radio buttons, the Web client will use the component’s text. Accessibility software can query the Web client to get this information, and use it to present it to the user in a variety of ways. For example, when a component gets focus, speech simulation software will say the name and the type of component, based on the settings in the Accessible Name and Accessible Description fields.
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.
Button ID Specify a numeric identification that specifies a Control ID to transmit when clicked.
Button ID Condition Specify an expression to override the Button ID property when that expression evaluates to true.
Image

Specifies the name of an image file to display on the control. The image file must reside in any of the following paths, in which Service Manager looks for the image:

Windows client:

  • <Service Manager>\Client\plugins\com.hp.ov.sm.client.common_x.xx.xxx\src\resources\icons

  • A local directory on the client machine, which is specified in the Image path field (Window > Preferences). For example: C:\smCustomImages.

Web client:

  • <Service Manager web tier>\images. For example: <Tomcat>\webapps\webtier-x.xx\images.

Note When you specify the image file for this property, you need to provide both the file name and the file name extension.

Description Specify the description text for the label.
Balloon Help Specify the text string to display when the cursor is held over the button to offer more information about the button’s function.
Enabled Specify an initial state.
Enabled Condition Specify a condition that enables the button when a table row is selected. Example: [%tablename] == "selected" or [%tablename] != "selected" where tablename is the value of the Name property of the table on the screen.
