Attributes

The screen's attributes tab contains generic settings such as its design-time name, window title, banner style and text and various button settings. The details of this tab's contents are explained in the Screen Attributes topic.

 

Style

The Style tab is used to customize the screen's appearance beyond the global project theme.

Override project theme

Override the global project theme in order to customize the appearance of the current screen. These settings are the same as the Theme Properties dialog, except they only affect the current screen.

Tip: If you are editing a screen and you have the Override project theme selected, you can right click on the screen preview and select "Save as Theme..." to save the created theme.

 

Actions

The Actions tab contains the action editor dialog where you can add actions or scripts to each event supported by the screen.

Note: Some events will already contain action script and should not be modified unless you want to customize the default behavior of the screen.

The Select Shortcut Folder screen contains the following screen events:

Tip: You can use the On Ctrl Message event to detect and respond to user interaction. See the Advanced topic for the list of control IDs and string IDs that are available on this screen.
