Group box properties

Group boxes are containers that can hold other controls, such as the Contacts group box that shows information about contacts, or the Address group box that shows information about an address. Group boxes typically have a Hide/Show button that users can click to minimize and maximize the group box.

Whenever you add a control collection, Infor Public Sector uses a group box control in the ascx page that it generates to contain all of the controls for that collection. When you add a group box, you must first add the group box control to the page. You can then add any controls that you want in the group box, including other group boxes. The Page Editor treats a group box and all of the controls inside it as a single control when you move the group box around.

General

Property Description
ID (advanced) Identification code for the group box.

You cannot change the IDs of the out-of-the-box controls.

You can change the IDs that Infor Public Sector generates for agency-defined controls, but we recommend that you use the default values.

Access

Property Description
ReadAccessId (advanced) Access ID for the permission that users must be granted to view the group box.
WriteAccessId (advanced) Access ID for the permission that users must be granted to edit information within the group box.
ReadAccessPath (advanced) Path of the permission that users must be granted to view the group box.

The access path is an alternative to the access ID. For example, the access ID for the permission to create a work order is 8434, and the path is Work Management/Work Order/Create Work Order.

WriteAccessPath (advanced) Path of the permission that users must be granted to edit information within the group box.

You can then specify their IDs in the HeaderButtonStrings property, separated by commas with no spaces. The specified buttons will be displayed in the header, separated by the number of pixels indicated in the HeaderButtonOffset property.
