An absolute binding can connect the value of a control to the value of a parameter’s data field, or to one of the child attributes or objects of that parameter.
Depending on the properties to be connected, bindings can be added from the General Properties tab of a control, pane, or a parameter. An optionlist and radiogroup, a URL and URL Text of Hyperlink, and the URL of an Image control can also have bindings which you can establish from the Properties tab of these controls. You can also use the
Mappings tab to view, edit, and create bindings.
The General Properties tab for controls, shown in
Figure 46, provides a mechanism for setting bindings between the value or property of one control and the value or property of another control or parameter.
To connect a control with a parameter, you can use either the General tab of a control, as in
Figure 46, or the parameter dialog for that parameter, as in
Figure 47.
You can use the Mappings tab of the Properties view for selected element in the Form Designer canvas to set bindings. See
Working with the Mappings Tab for further details.
