IncludeScreenLabels property

OpenReportButton.IncludeScreenLabels — Logical

Special value available in formulas:

Item

OpenReportButton

The button this property is part of, enabling multiple checked items in the app designer to share the same formula and be updated all at once.

Consider the fields Field1 and Field2, which should only be considered to be valid if their values are greater than 4. Without using the Item value, the Valid property of Field1 would need to use the formula Field1 > 4Field1 > 4 and the Valid property of Field2 would need to use the formula Field2 > 4Field2 > 4.

Using Item, both formulas can read Item > 4Item > 4. This is useful if you have many fields and you want to be able to update their formulas all at once. To do so, click their check boxes in Calcapp Creator and make sure that a checked field is selected. Then, when you update a formula for one checked field, you update all the other checked fields too, which is a great timesaver.

Use Item in exactly the same way you'd use the regular name. Button1.VisibleButton1,Visible and Item.VisibleItem,Visible are equivalent, for instance.

Whether screen labels are included in a report.

This property only has an effect if the SeparateScreens property returns TRUE.

If this property is not set, TRUE is assumed.

Examples

IncludeScreenLabelsSwitchFieldIncludeScreenLabelsSwitchField

Makes an open report button include screen labels only if IncludeScreenLabelsSwitchField is toggled to its "on" position.

OPENREPORT({ App }, IncludeScreenLabels: IncludeScreenLabelsSwitchField)OPENREPORT({ App }; IncludeScreenLabels: IncludeScreenLabelsSwitchField)

This formula is associated with the OnPress property of a formula button, and causes a report to be opened when the button is pressed. All fields of the app are considered, courtesy of the { App }{ App } parameter. Screen labels are included only if IncludeScreenLabelsSwitchField is toggled to its "on" position.
