This feature allows you to edit various properties belonging to the currently selected item in the Report Structure List. If a control is selected in the Graphic Band Editor, it allows you to edit the properties for that control. The property editor has several tabs:
| • | The Properties Tab: On this tab you can edit various properties for the selected item or control, including the text value, colors and position. |
| • | The Totalling Tab (Only for Secondary Loops): You can create totals that are automatically calculated through the loop for the specified field. |
| • | Note: The field has to be present somewhere on a band that has the loop as parent for the total to be calculated correctly. |
| • | The Fields Tab: This just displays all the tables that are used in this report, with their fields and descriptions. |
| • | The Functions Tab: This displays the functions available to the user. You have to create these yourself in your app, bind them in the BindRep procedure and add them to the AddCustomFunctions procedure (see the next step for more on this). |
| • | The Global Tab: This is a list of global variables available to the user for use in the report. The user can edit, add and remove these at will. They are global in the sense that they are available to all reports in this program (see the next step for more on this). |
| • | The Local Tab: Similar to the Global Tab, except that these variables are only available to the current report in the program. |
| • | The Notes Tab: Write any general notes regarding the report here. There's lots of space, so go wild. |
