How to place Text on a property page

Hello

 

can someone tell me how i can place text on a property page? I would like to show some attributes on a property page of applications and place some text below the attributes, something like "for more information please go to http://......"

 

I tried using the HelpComment for the property page, as described in the customization guide, but this doesn't look right.

Here's the Code:

 

[Page]
Order=115

[Template]
AttGroupTop=Group(Bar),Pos(Top),Name("Change small orders")
AttGroupMiddle=Group(Bar),Pos(Middle),Name("Run")
AttGroupBottom=Group(Bar),Pos(Bottom)
Item1=Attribute([Kosten Change Summe 2012]),In(AttGroupTop),Size(100),Name("Summe Change")
Item2=Attribute([Kosten Change Business 2012]),In(AttGroupTop),Size(100),Name("Business (ASP)")
Item4=Attribute([Kosten Change IT Efficiency 2012]),In(AttGroupTop),Size(100),Name("IT Efficiency(ASP)")
Item5=Attribute([Kosten Run Summe 2012]),In(AttGroupMiddle),Size(100),Name("Summe Run")
Item6=Attribute([Kosten Run Operations 2012]),In(AttGroupMiddle),Size(100),Name("Operations (ASP)")
Item7=Attribute([Kosten Run Support 2012]),In(AttGroupMiddle),Size(100),Name("Support (ASP)")
Item8=Attribute([Kosten Run Steuerung 2012]),In(AttGroupMiddle),Size(100),Name("Steuerung (ASP)")
Item9=Attribute([Kosten Run SW Wartung App 2012]),In(AttGroupMiddle),Size(100),Name("SW Wartung App. (ASP)")
Item10=Attribute([Kosten Run Infrastruktur 2012]),In(AttGroupMiddle),Size(100),Name("Infrastruktur (INFRA)")
Help=Item([Anwendung.Kosten2012]),Control(HelpComment),In(AttGroupBottom)

 

This is the result of the Property Page:

First of all, the headline for the top group ("Change small orders") is missing.

Then the text is placed in the middle, not at the bottom, in this ugly white frame.

Isn't there any other way to place one (or more) read-only texts on a property page? And perhaps adding a link to an external site to it?

 

Can anyone help me on this? Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Tobias

Now it works, but you are right, the look has changed.

Looks a bit ugly to me but... let's put function over look and feel, right?Smiley Happy

Hi Tobias,

 

Can you try AttGroupTop=Group(Frame),Pos(Top),Name("Change small orders")?

Change "Bar" by "Frame". The look is going to change but I think the name will be shown.

 

See u

Hello

Hello Tobias,

 

try to name the title of your group without quotes, like this :

AttGroupTop=Group(Bar),Pos(Top),Name(Change small orders)

Best regards,

Hello btestard,

 

this looks much better now. The "Anwendung.Kosten2012" is a metapropertypage. I tried to use the HelpComment of the Property Page as described in the customization guide.

Can you also tell me how i can add a title for the top Group? The Name is not shown here...

AttGroupTop=Group(Bar),Pos(Top),Name("Change small orders")

Hi tdeeg,

 

Firstable you have to place the "in" instruction before the "control" instruction and you can add some param to have a beautiful "help" frame! 

Help=Item([Anwendung.Kosten2012]),In(AttGroupBottom),Control(HelpComment),Param(Info,Border)

 

For the http link I'm not sure of the possibility to do this...

 

Your item "Anwendung.Kosten2012" is a TaggedValue?

 

Regards
