Setting Properties of Multiple Selections
To set the properties of multiple selections:
- In the Object Navigator or the editors, select the objects whose properties
you want to set by using Control-click. The objects can be of different types
and can even be in different documents.
- In the Property Palette, set the Intersection/Union toggle command to specify
which properties you want to see.
- Set properties as desired.
Any change you make to a property setting is applied to all of the objects
in the current selection to which that property applies.
Setting properties of multiple selections
A form includes several text items, each of which displays the date in a different
window. The Parameter Data Type property of
each text item is DATE, which causes dates
to be displayed in the default ORACLE format
DD-MON-YY.
To use a different date format throughout the application, you need to set
the Format Mask property for each text item that
displays dates. Rather than setting each text item's Format
Mask property individually, select all of the items in the Object Navigator,
then set the Format Mask property once to change
the format mask for each item selected.
