The Parameter
Description Dialog
This
dialog is used to add or edit the description of a template parameter.
In
this dialog you need to give:
- a simple
name to
identify the parameter
- the parameter type
(NUMERIC, TEXT, DATE, BOOLEAN)
- if the parameter is of type TEXT, the way the text will be requested when building the
function derived from this template.
- NORMAL_TEXT means that the text is a normal text and will be entered using a text box.
- FILE means that the text is the path of a file, and will be entered using an "Open File" dialog.
- a description
that will be showed when building the
function derived from this template
You also need
to tell if the parameter is
mandatory or optional.
Also,
if your parameter need to be chosen in a combo box
you need to check the Has Choices check box and
write the items composing the list in the text area beneath the check
box, each item in one row. If the Has Choices check
box is not checked, the user will enter the parameter value in a text
box.
The OK button closes
the dialog and adds the
parameter to the list (Cancel
simply closes the dialog).
