Object.ValueType property

*ValueType is not strictly a property, but it is treated as a property here for convenience.

ValueType represents the data type of the object. ValueType is specified in the following format.

ClassName: ValueType Name

Example

TextBox: Number TextBox1 {
    ...
}

The above example defines a textbox with a data type of Number .

Value Type can be omitted. If ValueType is omitted in a class that can be specified like the TextBox class, it will be a String type.

TextBox TextBox1 {
    / * Default ValueType is String * /
}

Some object data types are fixed by class. For example, the DateEdit class is always of type Date , so specifying ValueType is invalid.

ValueType is also the data type of the default property because the default property of each class represents the value of the object .

The type of data type that can be specified for ValueType depends on the class specifications. See the description of each class for details.

ValueType can be set like a property in the property view in Biz / Designer, but since it is not strictly a property, the following cannot be specified in the CRS script.

TextBox TextBox1 {
    ValueType = Number; / * Example of incorrect specification * /
}

UString cannot be specified for Value Type in Mobile & AI
