The button collection of the validation form object contains all buttons independent from their location whereas the button collection for a tab contains only those buttons that are located on a specified tab and similarly for validation pane and group. You can customize the properties of a specific button.

Returns the collection of all table fields defined on the validation form or tabs.

Text

Sets or returns the text of the element that is then displayed on the form for a label, button, group or tab.

You can use vbCr, vbLf and vbNewLine to force a line break, but those work only when used for rich client modules. For thin clients if you need multiline text you need to insert several elements each having a single line text.

In previous versions the text element may be used for localization. For Tungsten Transformation 5.5 and later versions it is highly recommended to remove any related script code for localization issues and use the built-in function for the translation instead. For more information, see Project Builder Help.

Visible

Displays or hides the element on the validation form and pane.
