DataCaptionField, DataCaptionExpr |
This property controls the label that is displayed on the title bar of the form window. This is a static caption, usually the name of the underlying table. By using DataCaptionField (either at the table or form level), you can select fields from the record whose contents are displayed (and updated) in the caption bar as you page through the table. With DataCaptionExpr (only on forms) you can create a C/AL expression to be displayed in the caption bar. The expression is reevaluated when you select a new record or the present record is changed. |
