About Static components
Static components are used to present read-only text and graphics on the form.
- To specify text to be displayed in the component, use the Caption property (and optionally the No Colon property).
Note: To display "\n" instead of it being interpreted as a new line, set the No Interpret New Lines property to TRUE.
- To display the component as a black, rectangular outline (with no text or graphics displayed), use the Frame property.
- To display the component as a solid black rectangle (with no text or graphics displayed), use the Solid property.
- To display an image in the component, use the Bitmap File Name property.
- You can also display the current, read-only value of an IDO property in a static component. To do so, bind the static component to the IDO property by using the Property data binding type.
