The "Setup" entry field allows to view the current object's setup string. This string is composed by &xwp; directly from the object's settings. The entry field is read-only and cannot be changed, but you can copy its contents to the clipboard by using the Ctrl+Insert keys.

See "Setup strings" for more information about WPS setup strings and a list of the most frequently used ones. You can use this setup string to create a similar object using REXX functions.

Presently, &xwp; can decode setup strings of the following classes:

If setup strings are defined of a more specific class, but &xwp; cannot decode them, you will only get the setup strings of the parent class(es). Most notably, setup strings of WPPalette (and subclasses), WPDesktop/XFldDesktop, WPDisk/XFldDisk, WPHost, WPLaunchPad, WPNetgrp, WPPdr, WPPrinter, WPRPrinter, WPServer, WPShadow, and WPUrl are not supported.

However, even for the classes listed above, not all setup strings are supported by &xwp; since there is no standard interface how to retrieve them. Again, see "Setup strings" for details.
