2. Resize the form and note the change in this property.
3. Select the Source tab.
Note the + icon to the left of the Begin_Com. An editor setting is compressing component definitions to save space at the top of the source code. You can change this setting form the File menu / Options / LANSA Settings / Source dialog.
Click the + icon to expand the component definitions:
The component source is defined within the Begin_Com / End_Com statements.
The Begin_Com includes the form properties. As usual, RDML / RDMLX does not display properties or command parameters, which have default values.
4. Examine the Define_Com component definitions:
Most components are defined at the top of the source code.
5. Select the Design view. Select the field STD_TEXT. Note that the Details tab shows the field component's properties. Once again the Define_Com code shows only properties that have non-default values.
