At runtime:

  • Any character expression can be assigned to it.
  • It may be used in:
    • The Start event of an object.
    • The Refresh event of an object.

Samples

The following rules are defined in a Transaction object:

Form.Caption = 'My Form - Update' if update;
Form.Caption = 'My Form - Delete' if delete;
Form.Caption = 'My Form - Insert' if insert;

In this example, the Form's title will change depending on the current mode (insert, delete, or update).
