View Properties

When you use fields, methods, or controls on a view or form, they contain properties that you can configure. See Controls for more information on these properties.

When you design a view, you can configure the properties of that view. Click the outline of the view in the designer to open the properties on the right.

Properties
Feature	Description	How to use it
Name	Each view requires a unique name. This property is required and defaults to the name of the view.	Type a new name if necessary.
Spinners	Shows a spinner on the view while the view loads. This property is on by default.	Deselect the option if you do not want a spinner to display as the view is loading.
Delay	This is the delay, in milliseconds, before the spinner shows. If the Spinners property is on and the Delay property is 1000, then the spinner shows after a second. This is useful when the view takes less than the delay specified to load, but you want to show that it’s busy if it takes longer than expected.	Type a number in milliseconds.
Anonymous Access	Marks a view and form to be available anonymously.	Select the option if you want people to anonymously access the form.

When you work with a view on a form, you can configure the view's properties on the form. Click the view to open the view's properties.

• You cannot use rules to set the Advanced properties of a control, view, or form at runtime.
• The form's Spinners setting overrides the view's Spinners setting. View spinners only appear if the following conditions are true:
  • The Spinners view property is selected.
  • The Spinners form property is deselected on the form (parent) containing the view (child).
• The Spinners setting only applies to the initialize method, and displays when the view loads for the first time.

• If you add a control to a form, the form is the parent and the control is the child. If you select the Spinners property of the control and the form, the control's spinner does not display. If you configure a delay on the form's spinner or the spinner disappears while the control is busy, the control's spinner displays.
• If a form contains a view that has a control, the form is the parent to the view and the view is the parent to the control. The form's spinner overrides the other spinners. The view's spinner overrides the control's spinner.
