List Field Properties
All the properties for list fields are described under
Common Field Properties (see
Common Field Properties), with the exception of the following properties that are specific to the list field type:
ExactWidth
Specifies the exact outer width of the field. If both MinimumWidth and ExactWidth are positive, ExactWidth takes precedence. If both MinimumWidth and ExactWidth are 0, the default width will be just big enough to hold the largest item in the field.
Default: 0
HasSingleCharFind
Specifies whether the end user may move the focus of the list field to the next row, whose value begins with the character the end user enters. Possible values are:
TRUE
Specifies that the end user can change the field focus
FALSE
Specifies that the end user cannot change the field focus
Default: TRUE
Note: The field bias must be set to Changeable for this feature to be available. For more information, see
Field Biases (see
Field Biases).
MinimumWidth
Specifies the minimum outer width of the field. If it is smaller than the smallest width of the items in the field, the largest width of the items is used.
Default: 0

SEL_SINGLE
