The following properties are available for Generic Text Selector List objects, grouped by the categories shown in the Selectors and Selector Lists editors.
Default Selection
| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
string |
DefaultTextPolicy.None |
The text that represents the default when the DefaultTextPolicy is SpecifiedString. The string can be tokenized. The DefaultSelectionString is only applicable when the DefaultTextPolicy is set to SpecifiedString. See also: DefaultTextPolicy |
|
DefaultTextPolicy |
DefaultTextPolicy.None |
Indicates how the default text is determined. None - No default is set. LastUsedItem - The last text used within the context is the default. The context is specified by the view’s SelectorLastUsedItemContext setting. SpecifiedString - The DefaultTextString value, which can be tokenized, is the default. |
|
string |
The string that represents the item value(s) used as the default when the DefaultSelectionPolicy is LastUsedItem and no last used item exists. The value can be tokenized. |
Null Selection
| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
string |
The text displayed by the selector when no item(s) is selected. The setting is often used to display a prompt. The value can be tokenized. |
||
string |
The text assigned to the token when no item(s) is selected. The value can be tokenized. NullSelectionTokenValue is typically used to specify the token value for a selector that is configured as optional, but still needs to be represented by a token. |
Token Value
| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
string |
The format used to create the value that is assigned to the token. By default, the token value is a semi-colon delimited list of substrings in which each substring represents a selected item. If the token value needs to contain additional text prepended and/or appended to the text representing the selected item(s), you can use the TokenValueFormat to specify the text. The format must contain the format item {0}, which is replaced with the selected item(s) string. See also: TokenValueDelimiter, TokenValueItemFormat |
||
bool |
false |
Controls whether a single quotation mark within the token item value is automatically escaped with another single quote. For example, if TokenValueItemEscapeSingleQuote is True and the selected item is Ville De’anjou, the item value assigned to the token is Ville De''anjou. This setting is intended for use when the token is used within a relational query. |
