The attributeName property represents the name of the property within the collection of items to be displayed in the part.

The borderWidth property is the width of the border, specified in pixels, that surrounds the part on all four sides. A width of zero means that a border does not show.

On some platforms, the border width is limited to 1 pixel and any nonzero value is set to 1.

The converter property is an object that manages the conversion of other objects to and from their display format for certain visual parts, such as a Text part.

The editable property specifies whether the text in the part can be edited.

Note:

For the Container Details parts, this attribute along with the columns attribute determine whether the column cells are editable. However, the various edit events (such as editCellAt: or editSelectedCell) will edit the column, regardless of the values of these attributes.

The enabled property specifies whether or not the part is available for selection. If true, the part's contents are available for selection.

The etched property specifies whether the cells in this column are to be drawn etched. The default value is false. The visualStyle property must be set to XmETCHCELLS or this property is ignored.

The heading property represents the object to be displayed at the top of the column. The height of the heading is determined by the maximum height of all column headings.

The headingEtched property indicates whether this column heading is to be etched. If the visualStyle of the Container Details part is set to XmETCHCELLS, this property controls whether the heading cell is to be drawn as etched. If the visualStyle is set to any other value, this property is ignored.

The helpFile property is the name of the help file associated with the part.

The helpKeysId property is the ID of the keys help associated with the part. The ID can be a string or an integer value.

The ID must exist in the help file associated with the part.

The partName property specifies the name you want to use to describe the part. For nonvisual parts, this text appears under the icon for the part on the free-form surface.

The name of the part can consist of alphanumeric characters, and must be different from those of all other parts on the layout surface.

If you do not specify a part name, VA Smalltalk generates a unique name based on the class name of the part.

The resizable property specifies whether the column of the container can be resized.

The showInUse property specifies whether the current column is highlighted, showing that it is currently in use. The default value is false.

The tabGroup property specifies whether or not the part is included as a tab stop so users can use the Tab and Backtab keys to access the part.

The textLimit property specifies the maximum length of the text string that can be entered into the cell from the keyboard. If the autoTab property of the Container Details part is set to True, the textLimit property specifies how many characters can be typed before tabbing automatically goes to the next cell.

The limit for all text parts that are children of another part (for example, a Form, Window, or Group Box part) is 32 KB. For a Multi-line Edit part this property represents the total length of all lines containing text and line feed characters.

The traversalOn property specifies whether users can access the part using the cursor movement keys. If the part is specified as a tab stop by using the tabGroup property, users also can use the Tab and Backtab keys to access the part.
