List String Column (PRIM_LIST.String)

Column displaying text

Ancestors - List Column (PRIM_LIST.Column) Object (PRIM_OBJT)

Details

Prim_List.String is a column in a List used to display alphanumeric data.
 
Each column type has a corresponding CurrentItem class that provides access to the individual entries in the column accessible via the CurrentItem property.
 
The entry field for each item can be modified independently using the current item for the column in the same way that other visual LANSA lists allow the current item for the list to be used.
 
A string column is created whenever an alphanumeric field is dropped on the list. The Source property will be set to the field and it will be used as a column in the underlying working list.

Example

This example shows a list with one number and one string column.
 
After an entry is added, the current string column cell is hidden if the number is odd.
