UseLines Property

Gets or sets a value which determines whether repeating character patterns will display as lines in the form.

object.UseLines = [boolean]

Where object is an object expression that evaluates to one of the controls in the Applies To list, and boolean is a boolean expression that evaluates to either True or False, as described in Settings below.

Client support

Newlook Smartclient only.

Use

The recognition engine will automatically generate a line on the form when it identifies a non-editable pattern of repeating characters. Setting this property to False for the form will prevent lines from being generated and display the characters within a label control.

Line recognition is not supported in Newlook Server.

Description

Example

True

(Default) Repeating characters will be rendered as lines on the form.

False

Repeating characters will not be rendered as lines.

Note:

Changing this property at run-time will cause the dynamic recognition engine to recreate the form and will result in the loss of any data that has been entered by the user. This property should not be changed within the Form events OnReceive or OnRefresh.
