Welcome to Alpha Five Version 11! If you thought we added a ton of functionality in Versions 10 and 10.5 plus the Feature Packs, you may have to recalibrate your notion of what defines a "ton of functionality".

The Quick Find Genie is useful for finding controls in components with a large number of controls.

A data field displayed as a tree control or drop-down tree control accepts only values that are in its choice list. These images show a tree control in regular and drop-down formats.

The value for a Slider Control can be set using javascript.

Tab and accordion controls in the Page Layout Component can be configured to include animations when opening or closing a tab or accordion pane.

The user defined choices displayed by a combo box, radio button, list box etc. can be read and set by reading or setting the text and value properties of the choice list array. The text property controls what is displayed on the form. The value property controls what value is written to the field when an item is selected.

When you design a FormView control you may want the form to display calculated values (typically computed from other fields in the form). Since the Form is really just an HTML template that is rendered using Alpha Anywhere's client-side templating features, this is easily done.

This topic discusses an advanced use of a Custom Control in a Grid component.

Form, Browse, and Print Preview windows can have multiple toolbars. The following Xbasic command sets a form's toolbars to "Record_navigation" and "Find_toolbar".
