Navigation:  JetServer Editor > JetServer Editor Server Properties

The server editor properties window looks like this:

 

 

Name

This (readonly) field shows the fieldname of the server. you have to change the fieldname on the main screen.

 

Caption

The caption of the server is used for the hyperlabel of the server

 

Inherit from Class

Here you can specify the class that the server will inherit from. If you leave this empty or <Auto> the parent class will be either DaoTable, or DaoQuery depending on the server type you choose.

 

Description

The description of the server is used for the hyperlabel of the server

 

Help Context

The helpcontect of the server is used for the hyperlabel of the server

 

No Code

You can suppress code generation by setting this property to Yes. In that case only the binary entities will be generated, so you can perform the autolayout in the window editor. Of course you then have to write your own servers.

 

Server Type

You can select 3 types of servers here:

Please look at the reference of the OpenRecordset() method for the differences between those server types.

 

Options

Depending on the server type that you have chosen, you can select one or more options. Please look at the Openrecordset() method for the different options.

 

Dynamic Hyperlabels

When you set this property to true, the server will (at runtime) read the captions and descriptions of the fields from the properties that are stored in the database. When you set it to false the captions and descriptions that you specify in the editor will be used. of course the dynamic captions/description will cause a (very small) delay when you open a table.

 

No Access/Assign

This property allows you to suppress the generation of Accesses and assigns for all the fields in the server.

 

Small Fieldspecs

When you set this property to Yes the server editor will choose an alternative way to generate the sourcecode for the fieldspecs. There have been complaints that the source code generated by the DbServer and Sqleditor is much too big. We have given you an option.

 

PreInit method

When there is a preinit method you will see 'Defined' for this property. When the property is 'Not defined', you can let the server editor generate a method for you by setting this field to 'Defined'.

 

PostInit method

When there is a postinit method you will see 'Defined' for this property. When the property is 'Not defined', you can let the server editor generate a method for you by setting this field to 'Defined'.
