== Changing Widget Configuration Properties ==

{{PrF_UG_TOC_forms}}<div id='prf_ug'>

The Widget Configuration dialog box allows you to customize the label,
buttons,
and other properties of a selected widget.
This dialog has a number of tabs,
depending on the widget type.
The most common customizations are:

<ul class='a'>
<li>
changing
[[#Changing_General_Properties|general]]
properties,
that is,
a widget's label or tool tip


<li>
choosing a widget's
[[#Choosing_a_Widget_s_Buttons|buttons]],
if any,
at the Buttons tab

</ul>

For some widgets,
you can customize additional properties.
See the specific topic for the widget for more information.

=== Changing General Properties ===

You can change the following properties at the General tab of the Configuration Dialog:

<ul class='a'>
<li>
the widget label:
Each widget has a label - a string of text displayed in the left-hand corner of the widget.
The default layout uses a version of the slot name for the widget label,
where underscores are replaced by blanks and the first letters of the resulting words are capitalized.
When end users actually enter instances,
they use the label to determine the type of information they should enter.


<li>
the widget tool tip:
This is displayed as a pop-up when the user holds the cursor over the widget label.

</ul>

To change the General properties of a widget:

<ol class='a'>
<li>
Double-click directly on the widget.
The
[[PrF_UG_forms_widget_configuration|Widget Configuration]]
dialog box will be displayed. (Note:
If the
[[PrF_UG_forms_form_configuration|Form Configuration]]
dialog box is displayed,
you have accidentally double-clicked somewhere on the background of the form.
Close the dialog box and double-click on the widget.)

 <div>[[Image:PrF_UG_forms_configure_widget.png|forms_configure_widget]]</div>


<li>
Enter the label you want in the Label field of the
[[PrF_UG_forms_widget_configuration|Widget Configuration]]
dialog box.
You can use a multi-word phrase.


<li>
To create a tool tip,
type the text you want in the Default Tool Tip field.


<li>
To implement your changes,
click OK.

</ol>

=== Choosing a Widget's Buttons ===

Some widgets
(e.g.,
Class and Instance widgets,
Multiple Cardinality widgets)
have buttons displayed on their upper right corners.
You can turn the display of these buttons on and off individually.
To choose which buttons are displayed for a widget:

<ol class='a'>
<li>
Double-click directly on the widget.
The
[[PrF_UG_forms_widget_configuration|Widget Configuration]]
dialog box will be displayed. (Note:
If the
[[PrF_UG_forms_form_configuration|Form Configuration]]
dialog box is displayed,
you have accidentally double-clicked somewhere on the background of the form.
Close the dialog box and double-click on the widget.)

 <div>[[Image:PrF_UG_forms_config_widget_buttons.png|forms_config_widget_buttons]]</div>


<li>
If the widget has buttons,
there will be a Buttons tab in the
[[PrF_UG_forms_widget_configuration|Widget Configuration]]
dialog box.
Click this tab.


<li>
Select the buttons you want to display by making sure there is a check in the appropriate boxes.


<li>
Click OK.

</ol>
