Types of PxInclude Widget properties

The PxInclude Widget has the following properties:

  • enabled

    This property has two options: true and false. Setting the option to false causes the widget to stop working. Values may display but are not reliable and do not update.

  • ord

    The value of this property (an ORD) identifies the Px file that is linked using the PxInclude widget. See an example in the figure below.

  • variables

    This optional property identifies the value of any variables in the Px file specified by the ord property. Clicking on the variable field displays the Variables dialog box, where you can define the variable value. See an example in the figure below. Also see About ORD Variables.

  • layout

    This property contains parameter fields for values that prescribe PxInclude widget size and location.

  • visible

    This property has two options: true and false. Setting the option to false causes the widget to not display.
