Description
The udefentity widget is used when the
Widget Type property of the entity is set to U_NONE and the
Form runs on Windows.
If defined, the properties set with DefEntity are applied to all entities in the application. You can override these defaults for specific entities by editing widget properties for the modeled entity or the component entity in the Uniface IDE.
You can change the runtime values of entity widget properties using the $entityproperties and $CurEntProperties ProcScript functions.
