InitialValue (Property)

In french: ValeurInitiale

..InitialValue is used to find out the initial value of a control found in a window or in a page. The initial value corresponds to the initial value defined in the editor ("Content" tab of the description window of control).

Example

// Initialize the value of "EDT_Customer" with its initial value
EDT_Customer = EDT_Customer..InitialValue

Syntax

<Initial value> = <Control used>..InitialValue

<Initial value>: Any type

Initial value of specified control.

<Control used>: Control name

Name of control to use.

Remarks

ActiveX control

For an ActiveX control, the initial value corresponds to the COM identifier (ProgID) of the ActiveX selected when creating the window.

iFrame control

For an iFrame control, ..InitialValue corresponds to:

the name of the page displayed (name selected in the description window of iFrame control). For example: "MyPage1".
a full URL if the page displayed corresponds to a page of another Internet site.

Chart control

For a Chart control, the initial value corresponds to the image displayed in the control background, selected when creating the window or the page.

Drawer control

For a Drawer control, ..InitialValue corresponds to the state (expanded (1) or collapsed (0)) selected when creating the control.
