UsePicklist
Field Name
STD_NUM
Description
Detail the behavior of the UsePicklist through the STD_NUM field.
PRIM_EVEF, PRIM_EVSE, PRIM_GDCL, PRIM_LVCL & PRIM_TVCL all have a property called UsePicklist. This property is a design-time only property. The purpose of this property is to specify whether the picklist of a field, once specifed, is to be used as part of the formatting for the relevant component.
Example: A PRIM_EVSE ( SpinEdit ) has been defined for a numeric field that also includes a Picklist. If the UsePicklist property is FALSE then when visualized the SpinEdit will work as normal through the range of allowable numbers. If UsePicklist=TRUE then the SpinEdit will cycle through the picklist values.
The primary purpose of this property is seen as a way to introduce Field Visualization concepts bit by bit to a large system. Older component can work as they always have with UsePicklist=FALSE whereas new components can have UsePicklist=TRUE to gain access to new functionality.
