VFORCE
VFORCE draws vertical lines inside symbols, instead of horizontal lines, which are the default. VFORCE lays out properties from left to right, and separates them by a vertical line.
The VNONE command does the same thing, but does not show the vertical line.
Syntax
{FORMAT String LEGEND "$$VFORCE$$"}
Example
DEFINITION "Elementary Business Process"
{ PROPERTY "Supporting Applications"
{ Edit Listof "Application" Label "Applications"
LENGTH 2000
HELP "Must be entered through Matrix" READONLY
DISPLAY { FORMAT String LEGEND "$$FORCE$$"}
}
PROPERTY "Referenced Data"
{ EDIT ListOf "Entity"
KEYED BY {Model QUALIFIABLE,Name}
LENGTH 5000 READONLY DISPLAY { FORMAT String LEGEND "$$VFORCE$$"}
}
...
}
The first property listed does not have VFORCE, just FORCE. Subsequent properties that you want to line up to the right of the first property are given the VFORCE specification. In the picture below, the "Sales Web".Orders and "Sales Web".Customer values are listed in a box for "Referenced Data". The VFORCE command was used to make this box appear to the right of the "Supporting Applications" property box, which in the picture has the value SalesWeb listed.
This graphic is described in the surrounding text.
The VFORCE command was also used to make the boxes containing “BR 1" and “BR 2" and John Process appear to the right of the box containing the value 1, but this is not shown in the USRPROPS.TXT sample provided.
