Defining Field, Map and Mapset Properties

You define the properties of fields, maps and mapsets using the Field Properties, Map Properties and Mapset Properties dialog boxes.

Many properties appear in all three dialog boxes, and where such properties are concerned, there is a hierarchy, with field properties at the top and mapset properties at the bottom. For example, you can specify at mapset level that entry fields are white; you can override this setting at the map level for all the fields in a map, and at field level for an individual field.

Note:

If you specify the blink attribute, each affected field is displayed in the BMS Painter window exactly as it would appear on the terminal screen. However, this attribute cannot be displayed in the Application Output window when the project is being run or debugged within the development system
