LibreOffice 24.8 Hjälp
This General tab enables you to define the general properties of a form control. These properties differ, depending on the control type. Not all of the following properties are available for every control.
If you export the current form document to HTML format, the default control values are exported, not the current control values. Default values are determined - depending on the type of control - by the properties' Default value (for example, in text fields), Default status (for check boxes and option fields), and Default selection (for list boxes).
If a control field has the property "Enabled" (Yes), the form user can use the control field. Otherwise (No), it is disabled and greyed out.
The "Tab order" property determines the order in which the controls are focused in the form when you press the Tab key. In a form that contains more than one control, the focus moves to the next control when you press the Tab key. You can specify the order in which the focus changes with an index under "Tab order".
The "Tab order" property is not available to Hidden Controls. If you want, you can also set this property for image buttons and image controls, so that you can select these controls with the Tab key.
When creating a form, an index is automatically assigned to the control fields that are added to this form; every control field added is assigned an index increased by 1. If you change the index of a control, the indices of the other controls are updated automatically. Elements that cannot be focused ("Tabstop = No") are also assigned a value. However, these controls are skipped when using the Tab key.
Du kan också ange indexen för olika kontrollelement i dialogrutan Aktiveringsordningsföljd.
With numerical and currency fields you can determine the number of digits displayed to the right of the decimal point.
For combo boxes with the "Dropdown" property, you can specify how many lines should be displayed in the dropdown list. With control fields which do not have the Dropdown option, the line's display will be specified by the size of the control field and the font size.
The AutoFill function displays a list of previous entries after you start to type an entry.
A background color is available for most control fields. If you click on Background color, a list will open which enables you to select among various colors. The "Standard" option adopts the system setting. If the desired color is not listed, click the ... button to define a color in the Color dialog.
The "Read-only" property can be assigned to all controls in which the user can enter text. If you assign the read-only property to an image field which uses graphics from a database, the user will not be able to insert new graphics into the database.
Sets the column width in the table control field in the units that are specified in the LibreOffice module options. If you want, you can enter a value followed by a valid measurement unit, for example, 2 cm.
Anger kontrollfältets bredd.
Specifies whether the first column is displayed with row labels, in which the current record is marked by an arrow.
Determines a date which can not be exceeded by another value introduced by the user.
With date fields you can determine the format for the date readout.
Specifies whether a text selection on a control remains selected when the focus is no longer on a control. If you set Hide selection to "No", the selected text remains selected when the focus is no longer on the control that contains the text.
Specifies the source for the label of the control. The text of the label field will be used instead of the name of a database field. For example, in the Filter Navigator, Search dialog, and as a column name in the table view.
To define one character of the label as a mnemonic, so that the user can access this control by pressing the character on the keyboard, insert a tilde (~) character in front of the character in the label.
För alternativfält (radioknappar) kan bara texten i gruppramen användas som etikettfält. Den texten gäller alltså för alla alternativfält i samma grupp.
Om Du klickar på kommandoknappen ... bredvid textfältet så visas dialogrutan Urval etikettfält. Här väljer du ett kontrollfält på listan över kontrollfält.
Check the No assignment box to remove the link between a control and the assigned label field.
Specifies to show or hide the filtering and sorting items in a selected Navigation bar control. Filtering and sorting items are the following: Sort ascending, Sort descending, Sort, Automatic filter, Default filter, Apply filter, Reset filter/sort.
Specifies the format code for the control. Click the ... button to select the format code.
You can have a format check with control fields that accept formatted contents (date, time, and so on). If the strict format function is activated (Yes), only the allowed characters are accepted. For example, in a date field, only numbers or date delimiters are accepted; all alphabet entries typed with your keyboard are ignored.
Anger var kontrollfältet ska förankras.
Specifies the delay in milliseconds between repeating events. A repeating event occurs when you click an arrow button or the background of a scrollbar, or one of the record navigation buttons of a Navigation bar, and you keep the mouse button pressed for some time. You can enter a value followed by a valid time unit, for example, 2 s or 500 ms.
An image button has a "Graphics" property. The "Graphics" property specifies the graphic's path and file name that you want to have displayed on the button. If you select the graphic file with the ... button, the path and file name will be automatically included in the text box.
Specifies a batch label in URL spelling which refers to a help document and which can be called with the help of the control field. The help for the control field help can be opened if the focus is positioned on the control field and the user presses F1.
Provides the option of entering a help text that will be displayed as a tip on the control. The tip shows the text in user mode when the mouse is moved over the control.
For URL type buttons, the help text appears as the extended tip instead of the URL address entered under URL.
In each control field you can specify additional information or a descriptive text for the control field. This property helps the programmer to save additional information that can be used in the program code. This field can be used, for example, for variables or other evaluation parameters.
Anger kontrollfältets höjd.
Anger färgen för ikoner eller kontroller, till exempel pilarna i en rullningslist.
Specifies whether the icons in a selected Navigation bar should be small or large.
Defines the edit mask. By specifying a character code you can determine what the user can enter in the control field. By specifying the character code in pattern fields, you can determine what the user can enter in the pattern field.
The length of the edit mask determines the number of the possible input positions. If the user enters characters that do not correspond to the edit mask, the input is rejected when the user leaves the field.
You can enter the following characters to define the edit mask:
| Tecken | Innebörd | 
|---|---|
| L | A text constant. This position cannot be edited. The character is displayed at the corresponding position of the Literal Mask. | 
| a | The characters a-z and A-Z can be entered. Capital characters are not converted to lowercase characters. | 
| A | The characters A-Z can be entered. If a lowercase letter is entered, it is automatically converted to a capital letter. | 
| c | The characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9 can be entered. Capital characters are not converted to lowercase characters. | 
| C | The characters A-Z and 0-9 can be entered. If a lowercase letter is entered, it is automatically converted to a capital letter. | 
| N | Only the characters 0-9 can be entered. | 
| x | Alla utskrivbara tecken kan skrivas in. | 
| X | All printable characters can be entered. If a lowercase letter is entered, it is automatically converted to a capital letter. | 
För teckenmasken ""__.__.2000" definierar du t.ex. inmatningsmasken "NNLNNLLLLL", om du vill att användaren bara ska kunna mata in fyra siffror för att ange datum.
Specifies the border color for controls that have the "Border" property set to "flat".
Fastställer vilka intervall som ska läggas till eller dras ifrån varje gång som rotationsrutekontrollen aktiveras.
You can preset the value intervals for numerical and currency spin buttons. Use the up and down arrows of the spin button to increase or decrease the value.
The alignment options are left-aligned, right-aligned, and centered. These options are available for the following elements:
Title of Label fields,
Content of text fields,
Content of table fields in the columns of a table control,
Graphics or text that are used in buttons.
Alternativet Justering för knappar kallas för Grafikjustering.
Please note the tips referring to the keyboard controls.
Den fördefinierade standardlistposten anges i urvalskombinationsfältet Standard
Observera att listposterna som anges här bara tas med i formuläret om alternativet "Värdelista" är markerat under fliken Data under Typ av listinnehåll.
Om du inte vill att listposterna ska skrivas till databasen eller överföras till webbformulärmottagaren, utan i stället tilldelas värden som inte syns i formuläret, kan du ange andra värden för listposterna i en värdelista. Värdelistan anges på fliken Data. Välj alternativet "Värdelista" under Typ av listinnehåll. Ange sedan de värden under Listinnehåll som motsvarande synliga listposter i formuläret ska tilldelas. Ordningen i värdelistan måste vara korrekt för att tilldelningen ska bli korrekt.
När det gäller HTML-dokument motsvarar en listpost som anges på fliken Allmänt HTML-taggen <OPTION>. En post i värdelistan som anges på fliken Data under Listinnehåll motsvarar taggen <OPTION VALUE=...>.

When focused: (default) The value changes when the control has the focus and the wheel is pointing at the control and gets scrolled. Always: The value changes when the wheel is pointing at the control and gets scrolled, no matter which control has the focus.
Each control field and each form has a "Name" property through which it can be identified. The name will appear in the Form Navigator and, using the name, the control field can be referred to from a macro. The default settings already specify a name which is constructed from using the field's label and number.
Om Du arbetar med makron måste Du tänka på att namnen på kontrollfälten måste vara entydiga.
The name is also used to group different controls that belong together functionally, such as radio buttons. To do so, give the same name to all members of the group: controls with identical names form a group. Grouped controls can be represented visually by using a Group Box.

You can also specify the target frame to display a URL that you open when you click a button that has been assigned to the "Open document or web page" action.
Om du klickar i fältet kan du markera ett alternativ i listan som anger i vilken ram nästa dokument ska laddas. Följande möjligheter finns:
| Post | Innebörd | 
|---|---|
| _blank | Det följande dokumentet visas i en ny, tom ram. | 
| _parent | Det följande dokumentet visas i en parent, alltså en överordnad ram. Om det inte finns någon parent, visas dokumentet i samma ram. | 
| _self | Det följande dokument visas i samma ram. | 
| _top | Det följande dokumentet visas i ett toppfönster, d.v.s. i den högsta ramen i hierarkin. Om utgångsramen redan är ett toppfönster visas dokumentet i samma ram. | 
The "Frame" property is relevant for HTML forms, but not for database forms.
With control fields that have a frame, you can determine the border display on the form using the "Border" property. You can select among the "Without frame", "3-D look" or "Flat" options.
Numerical fields, currency fields, date and time fields can be introduced as spin buttons in the form.
The "Label" property sets the label of the control field that is displayed in the form. This property determines the visible label or the column header of the data field in table control forms.
When you create a new control, the description predefined in the "Name" property is used as the default for labeling the control. The label consists of the control field name and an integer numbering the control (for example, CommandButton1). With the "Title" property, you can assign another description to the control so that the label reflects the function of the control. Change this entry in order to assign an expressive label to the control that is visible to the user.
To create a multi-line title, open the combo box using the Arrow button. You can enter a line break by pressing Shift++Enter.
The "Title" property is only used for labeling a form element in the interface visible to the user. If you work with macros, note that at runtime, a control is always addressed through the "Name" property.
Adds the scrollbar type that you specify to a text box.
Resizes the image to fit the size of the control.
Anger standarddatum.
The "Default button" property specifies that the corresponding button will be operated when you press the Return key. If you open the dialog or form and do not carry out any further action, the button with this property is the default button.
I ett givet dokument bör det bara finnas en knapp med den här egenskapen.
When using Web page forms, you might come across this property in search masks. These are edit masks that contain a text field and a Submit type button. The search term is entered in the text field and the search is started by activating the button. If the button is defined as the default button, however, simply hit Enter after entering the search term in order to start the search.
Specifies the list box entry to mark as the default entry.
For a Reset type button, the Default selection entry defines the status of the list box if the reset button is activated by the user.
For a List box that contains a value list, you can click the ... button to open the Default selection dialog.
I dialogrutan Standardmarkering väljer du de poster som du vill märka ut som markerade när du öppnar formuläret med listrutan.
Specifies whether an option or a check box is selected by default.
För en återställningsknapp kan du ange kontrollens status om återställningsknappen aktiveras av användaren.

For a Reset type button, the Default value entry defines the status of the control if the reset button is activated by the user.
Sets the default value for the scrollbar.
Specifies whether Check boxes and Option buttons are displayed in a 3D look (default) or a flat look.
Ange värdet som ska läggas till eller dras ifrån när användaren klickar bredvid skjutreglaget vid rullningslisten.
Anger huruvida kontrollfältet är synligt i liveläge. Det är alltid synligt i utkastläge.
Observera att standardvärdet "Ja" inte behöver innebära att kontrollfältet visas på skärmen. Det finns andra begränsningar som spelar in och kan leda till att fältet inte visas. Kontrollfält som finns inuti dolda avsnitt i Writer förblir exempelvis osynliga tills avsnitten görs synliga.
Om egenskapen anges som "Nej" är kontrollfältet alltid dolt i liveläge.
I äldre versioner av OpenOffice.org förbigås denna egenskap utan att något meddelande visas (i dokument som den används i).
Specifies the size of scrollbar thumb in "value units". A value of ("Scroll value max." minus "Scroll value min." ) / 2 would result in a thumb which occupies half of the background area.
If set to 0, then the thumb's width will equal its height.
The "Tabstop" property determines if a control field can be selected with the Tab key. The following options are available:
| Nej | When using the Tab key, focusing skips the control. | 
| Ja | The control can be selected with the Tab key. | 
If the user enters a password, you can determine the characters that will be displayed instead of the characters typed by the user. Under Password character, enter the ASCII code of the desired character. You can use the values from 0 to 255.
The characters and their ASCII codes can be seen in the Special Characters dialog (Insert - Special Character).
With masked fields you can specify a literal mask. A literal mask contains the initial values of a form, and is always visible after downloading a form. Using a character code for the Edit mask, you can determine the entries that the user can type into the masked field.
Teckenmaskens längd måste alltid vara lika med inmatningsmaskens längd. I annat fall kommer inmatningsmasken antingen att kapas eller fyllas ut med blanksteg till inmatningsmaskens längd.
For control fields which have visible text or titles, select the display font that you want to use. To open the Font dialog, click the ... button. The selected font is used in control fields names and to display data in table control fields.
För textfält väljer du radslutskoden som ska användas när text skrivs i en databaskolumn.
Allows you to use line breaks and formatting in a control field, such as a text box or label. To manually enter a line break, press the Enter key. Select "Multi-line with formatting" to enter formatted text.
Om du markerar texttypen "Flera rader med formatering" kan du inte binda den här kontrollen till ett databasfält.
Den här kontrollen kallas för "Flerradig" och är till för en textkolumn i en tabellkontroll.
You can define the desired format for the time display.
Specifies whether a check box can also represent ZERO values of a linked database apart from the TRUE and FALSE values. This function is only available if the database accepts three states: TRUE, FALSE and ZERO.
The "Tristate" property is only defined for database forms, not for HTML forms.
With numerical and currency fields you can determine whether thousands separators are used.
Enter the URL address for a Open document or web page button type in the URL box. The address opens when you click the button.
