Application properties

Here is the list of properties that can be applied to the Application elements thereby influencing the whole application appearance.

Show Splash

Show Splash is used to determine, whether the splash screen is used while an application is loading.

This property is highly recommended to be added amongst the first ones, and used after the relevant image has been sent to the client.

Timeout

Timeout is used to define the time after which the application will terminate, if the program is not responding.

For example, the program can stop responding, if the network connection suddenly goes down or if the database query takes too much time. If this option is not included into the theme file, there is no timeout and the application will run until it is stopped explicitly.

The Timeout value should be supplied in milliseconds.

The SLEEP statement can also trigger the activation of the Timeout parameter, because when the program is suspended by this statement is it not responding. Be careful, if you use this option for a program which contains SLEEP statements.

NoScalePixelCoord

The objects in the graphical form are located within an abstract grid with cells sized to fit one default font character (Courier New, 13 pt).

This grid is resized automatically, if the font face/size is changed. The unchecked No Scale Pixel Coord property adjusts the form abstract grid to the customized font size, thus resizes respectively the form itself and the form objects.
