View Mode
This method is available in the Object Browser panel and in other panels and dialogs in both Basic and Advanced view modes.
Parameters
The method has the following parameters:
Field
You can enter the field's index (from 0) or its caption.
The caption can contain asterisk (*) or question mark (?) wildcards or regular expressions. The asterisk corresponds to a string of any length (including an empty string), the question mark corresponds to any single character (including none). To specify more complicated parts of a caption, use regular expressions.
The caption can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive depending on the value of the Use case-sensitive parameters project setting.
Text
The text to enter in the control. To enter multi-line text in a multi-line control, separate the lines by using new line characters or the corresponding constants.
Result Value
None.
Remarks
-
The
SetTextaction fails when called for a disabled or read-only field. -
To get a field’s text, use the
wFieldTextproperty. You can also use it to set text without posting a notification to the log. -
To enter text in certain place within a field, to simulate keystrokes or character-by-character input, use the
Keysaction.
