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:
- WPObject
- WPFolder
- WPProgram;
for these classes, the setup string can become
particularly long. You will also see that the WPS stores the DOS setup variables
("DOS" or "&winos2; properties" button on the "Session" page) in the program's
environment, using
SET xxx=yyy
strings.
- XCenter
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.
