Description
DisplayName is a user-readable name for your application or OLE control. This name is displayed in OLE dialog boxes and windows that show the object's name. If you do not specify a value, the name of the control (such as ole_1) or application (value of the AppName property) is used for Display Name.
Usage
In a painter
To set a DisplayName for an OLE control:
-
Enter the name in the DisplayName field of the General page of the control's Properties view.
To set a DisplayName for an application:
-
Open the application in the Application painter.
-
Enter the name in the DisplayName field of the General page of the application's Properties view.
In scripts
The DisplayName property takes a string. The following example sets a name for an OLE control:
ole_1.DisplayName = 'My Project'
