| Field or Control | Description |
|---|---|
|
Convert Scrolls to Scroll Areas |
If you select this option, scroll-to-scroll area conversions take place for panels with scroll bars. If this is unchecked, no scroll-to-scroll area conversion takes place. |
|
Convert Scroll Action Buttons to Scroll Areas |
Some scroll bars may exist with scroll action buttons that are already defined. This option determines whether these scrolls should be converted or ignored. If they are converted, the scroll action buttons are removed before the scroll bar is converted to a scroll area. If you select this option, scrolls with scroll action buttons are converted. If this options is not checked, scrolls with scroll action buttons are ignored. |
|
Panels with Level 1 Scrolls |
If you select this option, panels with level 1 scrolls are processed for scroll conversion. |
|
Panels with Level 2 Scrolls |
If you select this option, panels with level 2 scrolls are processed for scroll conversion. |
|
Panels with Level 3 Scrolls |
If you select this option, panels with level 3 scrolls are processed for scroll conversion. |
|
Convert Level 1 Scrolls |
If you select this option, level 1 scrolls are converted to scroll areas. |
|
Convert Level 2 Scrolls |
If you select this option, level 2 scrolls are converted to scroll areas. |
|
Convert Level 3 Scrolls |
If you select this option, level 3 scrolls are converted to scroll areas. |
|
Max # Scrolls |
This parameter is a general scroll count limit for scroll conversion processing. For example, if this is set to 5, any panel with more than five scrolls that are not invisible is ignored. This is a simple way of eliminating complex panels from automatic scroll conversion. |
|
Apply Specific Page Size |
This option is used to define whether a specific size should be assigned to a panel. If you select this option, the panel size that is defined in the drop-down list box is applied to the panel. If this is unchecked, no changes are made to the panel size. Note:When you select a specific panel size, the panel size is applied to standard panels only (secondary panels and subpanels are not sized automatically). |
|
Apply Default Style Sheet |
If you select this option, the style sheet that is associated with a panel is updated with a blank value, so that the panel's style sheet appears by default from PSOPTIONS.STYLESHEETNAME ('PSSTYLEDEF'). |
|
Apply Frame/Horz/GrpBox Styles |
If you select this option, the conversion process looks for frames, group boxes, and horizontal rules that have no styles associated with them, and that appear to be associated with a specific scroll area by virtue of their position within a scroll area. It then assigns level-specific styles, based on the occurs level of the scroll area. |
|
Convert Frames to Horizontal |
Horizontal lines were a new page object for PeopleSoft 8. This option applies only for applications upgraded from releases previous to PeopleSoft 8. If you select this option, the conversion process looks for frames on the panel with upper and lower coordinates less than nine grid units apart. These frames are then converted to horizontal lines. |
|
Delete All Frames |
If you select this option, the process removes all frames on the converted panel. Note:If Convert Frames to Horizontal and Delete All Frames are both checked, the conversion from frame to horizontal takes place first, then any remaining frames are deleted. |
|
Turn On Grid 'Odd/Even Style' |
This applies to grids that are on a panel being converted. If you select this option, the conversion process determines if grids on the panel have their 'Odd/Even Style' turned on. If it is not turned on, the conversion process turns on this option. |
|
Turn On 'Show Prompt Button' |
This option applies to edit box fields that are not invisible and are not display-only. If you select this option, the conversion process turns on the Show Prompt Button option for edit box fields that have it turned off. |
|
Apply Component Defaults |
Used to apply standard defaults to component definitions. The defaults that are set are dependent on the Use characteristics of the component. See Application Designer, Component Properties/Use and Component Properties/Internet tabs. |
|
Turn Off 'Show Grid Lines' |
Turns off the Show Grid Lines option for grids that have it checked on. |
|
Language Code |
Enables you to convert panels whose language code differs from that in PSOPTIONS. Select a language code from the drop-down list box. |
