Controls that Implement Views of Attributes

These types of controls primarily deal with data coming from a database and from a user and data displayed to the user. Therefore, these controls are associated with (implement) attribute views. These controls can also be used for programmatic control by triggering events.

The following table lists the types of controls that implement views of attributes and the pop-up from which you add the controls.

Control	Added from Field Design	Added from List Properties
Check box	x
Drop List	x
Entry field (multiple line)	x
Entry field (single line)	x
Hidden field	x
Radio button	x
List box		x
Enterable list box		x
Enterable drop-down list		x
Non-enterable drop-down list		x

All controls in the preceding table, except for list box, implement a single attribute view. The list box control can implement one or more attribute views. The attribute views for a list box, and for the other three types of List Properties controls, must belong to a repeating group view.

Attribute views implemented as Field Design controls may or may not belong to repeating group views. If you implement an attribute view that does belong to a repeating group view, the control is called a list occurrence. For example, if you implement an attribute view in a repeating group view as a check box, the control is referred to as a list occurrence check box. The only exception to this is the hidden field control type. There is no list occurrence hidden field because hidden fields are not placed (implemented) on a window.

For more information about the types of controls and specific information related to their use, see the Toolset Help.
