Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

■ The following properties cannot be set at run time:
 
  • BorderStyle (form/text box only)   • ControlBox
  • CtlName                            • FormName
  • Index                              • List
  • ListCount                          • MaxButton
  • MinButton                          • MultiLine
  • ScrollBars                         • Sorted
  • Style                              • Text (list/combo box
  • Width (SCREEN/combo box only)        only)
 
■ Possible solutions:
 
  • Set the property values at design time rather than run
    time.
 
  • Change the property reference to read the value rather
    than set it.
