Description

The WR SET AREA PROPERTY command allows you to modify the value of option for the 4D Write area referenced by area.

If area equals 0, the WR SET AREA PROPERTY command will apply to each 4D Write area that is opened subsequently. In this case, it is recommended that your code should call this command in the On Startup Database Method.

In option, pass one of the constants of the "WR Area properties" theme. A description of each constant and its corresponding values are found below.

The stringValue parameter can be used with the wr window title and wr minimized button title properties.

Examples

(1) You want to disable the automatic picture preview of the area, the display of the confirm dialog and the Undo command from the Edit menu:

   WR SET AREA PROPERTY(Area;wr save preview;0)
   WR SET AREA PROPERTY(Area;wr confirm dialog;0)
   WR SET AREA PROPERTY(Area;wr allow undo;0)

(2) You want to open 4D Write version 6.x documents using table and field numbers instead of names. Thus, if a field name has been modified after the v6 document was saved, no error will occur when opening the document. To do so, execute the following statement:

   WR SET AREA PROPERTY(0;wr convert by token;1)
