Properties

All properties are read-write.

Name	Data Type	Description
AllowValues	Boolean	True if the Values button in Stonefield Query is enabled for this field.
Calculated	Boolean	True if this is a calculated field. If the SQExpression property of a calculated field is False, set this property to False as well.
Caption	String	The caption for the field.
Comment	String	The comment for the field.
Decimals	Numeric	The number of places after the decimal.
DefaultSummary	String	The default summary type for the field. The values are blank (none), "C" (count), "B" (count distinct), "S" (sum), "A" (average), "L" (lowest), and "H" (highest).
DisplayExpression	String	The expression used to display the value for the field.
Exact	Boolean	If this property is True (which it is by default) and the user filters on this field, Stonefield Query adds blanks to the filter value when the "equals" operator is used so the search is exact.
Expression	String	The expression to determine the value of this field if it's a calculated field.
Favorite	Boolean	True if this is a "favorite" field.
FieldList	String	A comma-delimited list of aliased field names used to calculate the value of this field if it's a calculated field. Leave this property blank if SQExpression is False.
FieldName	String	The aliased name of the field. You don't have to fill in this property because that's done automatically when you add the field to the collection.
Filterable	Boolean	True if the user can filter on this field.
Format	String	The format for this field.
Heading	String	The default column heading for this field in a report.
Length	Numeric	The width of the field, including decimals and one place for the decimal character if there are any decimals.
Order	Integer	The order for this field in the table: 1 is the first field, 2 the second, and so on.
Other	String	Stores user-defined information for the field; Stonefield Query doesn't use this property for anything but your scripts could.
OutputLength	Numeric	The output width of the field, including decimals and one place for the decimal character if there are any decimals. You don't have to fill in this property unless it's different than Length.
OutputType	String	The output data type of the field; see "Type" below for a list of valid data types. You don't have to fill in this property unless it's different than Type. Note setting this doesn't mean Stonefield Query converts the values in the data to the specified type; you are simply informing Stonefield Query what the data type of Expression is.
Picture	String	The picture for this field.
Reportable	Boolean	True if the user can report on this field.
Roles	String	A comma-delimited list of roles that can access the field (blank means everyone can access it).
Sortable	Boolean	True if the user can sort on this field.
SQExpression	Boolean	True if this calculated field uses a Stonefield Query expression; False if the expression is sent as is to the database engine.
Type	String	A single character representing the data type of the field: W: Blob C: Character Y: Currency D: Date T: DateTime B: Double G: General I: Integer L: Logical M: Memo N: Numeric V: Varchar Q: Varbinary
UserDefined	String	Unless this field is defined as an enumerated field, this property can contain anything you want to place in it.
ValuesMethod	String	The expression to use to display the unique values for this field. This should normally be left alone unless you need to do some specific processing to display the list of values.
Version	String	The version number for the field.
