txt Control

Properties    Methods    Events    Belongs to

The txt control is based on the Visual Basic's TextBox control. Most of its interface is the same as that of TextBox. In addition, it has an IBatControl interface, which enables the control to be contained in an atb control. If the VarType property is set to vbDate (e.g. when the control is bound to a date field) you may drop down a Datepicker. And last, but not least, it has a Caption property and some special alignment functions.

Binding a txt control to a column of an atb control

Draw a txt control onto your atb control and you will be able to bind the txt control to a column of the atb control. Leave the DataSource Property blank. Simply type in the Name of the atb column to the DataField property or - even more simple - leave DataField blank and use the name of the atb column as the name of the txt control.

Simple - simpler - the simplest: Use the bAt Master Add-In to throw the suitable controls into your atb!
