The Widget Configuration Dialog

 

The Widget Configuration dialog box allows you to:

  1. Change the label of any widget. 
  2. Change the widget type for any widget, including redisplaying currently hidden widgets.
  3. Select a single widget that takes up most of the horizontal and/or vertical space as the form expands.

The General Tab

The General tab displays the name of the class and slot that the widget is associated to, as well as the label that is used for the widget on the form. The example below shows the General tab for the Name widget in the Editor form.

   

For simple widgets, the General tab is the only tab that is available.

To change the label of a widget, type a new label in the entry box and click OK.

 

Other Tabs

For complex widgets, such as widgets with multiple cardinality, other tabs may appear in the Widget Configuration dialog box. For example, the dialog box for a standard InstanceList Widget also has a Buttons tab. This tab allows you to choose which buttons to display on the form.
