displayUse

The displayUse property associates an EGL field with a user-interface control. The value you assign is used as a default when you place the field (or a record that includes the field) on the Web Page in Page Designer.

Values are of the enumeration displayUseKind:
button
The control has a button command tag
secret
The data is not visible to the user. This value is appropriate for passwords.
hyperlink
If the action property is the name of an event-handling function, the control has a hyperlink command tag. If the action property is a label, the control has a link tag. When the user clicks the link in either case, no validation occurs and no input data is returned.
input
The control accepts user input. Initially, the control may display a value provided by the PageHandler.
table
Data is within a table tag.
output
PageHandler field output, if any, is visible in the control.
