Specify DataView Settings dialog box

Use this dialog box to specify the settings for a DataView to be displayed within a DataView form component. Within this dialog box, you can specify:

What type of DataView (Mode) the component is being used to display
The options and settings particular to the designated Mode
What form events, if any, to generate when the DataView component is displayed
Any input parameters to be used when the DataView query is performed

This dialog box is accessed from the Component property sheet for a DataView component. Starting with the Data Source group, click the ellipsis (...) button for the Binding property. In the Edit Component Data Binding dialog box then, select DataView for the Type, and then click Edit.

When you first access this dialog box, use the Mode field to specify what type of DataView you want to use the DataView component for. When you do, some options on the General tab are enabled and others are disabled, based on the selected mode.

Select Load Just in Time to specify whether this control is displayed when it becomes visible in the form. Select this option if you want to reduce the time a form is displayed or refreshed.
