Lookup the non-default properties of a form or form elements

Postby Bernd.N » Tue Jul 15, 2014 9:15 am

Is there a way to highlight or list those properties of a form or form element that I changed/set?
If not, would it be possible to create a report to show these properties?

That would be handy for cases where an element does not perform as it should, to look up the reason for that.

frm-Properties

When formulating the right question, one can sometimes answer oneself.
These properties are all listed nicely in the frm-File in the workspace in the forms-directory, like this:
{
dataProviderID:"bp_federal_state_code",
displayType:2,
editable:false,
formIndex:17,
location:"250,156",
name:"bp_federal_state",
size:"265,20",
text:"i18n:bob.bp_federal_state_code",
typeid:4,
uuid:"706BF192-5024-43E6-B078-0D8513270365",
valuelistID:"741EBE03-D59E-436B-8944-74BA3EC83439"
},

Did someone already read those values out to a table to have a look at them in a new view?
That way, "unusual" values would show better than in the properties-window in the Designer.
