The initialValue property specifies the
initial displayed value for the field as a STRING type.
When EGL first displays the ConsoleForm, the value of the fields
depends on the
setInitial property in the
openUI statement:
- If the setInitial property is set to
YES, EGL displays the value of the initialValue property
for the field. If you specify both the initialValue and initialValueKey properties,
EGL uses the initialValue property.
- If the setInitial property is set to
NO, EGL displays the current value of the variable bound to the field,
and the initialValue property is ignored.
The property is a STRING type. The empty string is the default
value for this property. It can be updated at run time.
