A group can be located on a validation form, a validation pane, or a tab and has the following customizable properties:

Buttons

Returns the collection of all buttons defined for the validation form, the tabs or groups. The button collection of the validation form object contains all buttons independent from their location whereas the button collection for a tab contains only those buttons that are located on a specified tab and similarly for validation pane and group. You can customize the properties of a specific button.

Collapse

A method to collapse a group that means that only the group's title is shown and not its full size as defined on the validation form.

Enabled

Enables or disables the control. Enabled means that the user can select the element, for example to edit a field or button. Disabled displays the element grayed out and not accessible for the user.

Expand

Expands the elements, for example, a group that contains various fields and labels.

Expanded

A status property that returns TRUE if the element is expanded. If the element is collapsed it returns FALSE. For Thin Clients this status property may return an unpredictable value during the DocumentLoaded event.

FieldLabels

Returns the collection of all field labels defined for the validation form or pane, the tabs or groups. The field label collection of the validation form object contains all field labels independent from their location whereas the field label collection for a tab contains only those field labels that are located on a specified tab and similarly for validation pane and group. You can customize the properties of a specific field label.

Fields

Returns the collection of all extraction fields defined for the validation form or pane, the tabs or groups. The field collection of the validation form object contains all fields independent from their location whereas the field collection for a tab contains only those fields that are located on a specified tab and similarly for validation pane and group. You can customize the properties of a specific field.

Labels

Returns the collection of all labels defined on the validation form, validation pane, tabs or groups. The label collection of the validation form object contains all labels independent from their location whereas the label collection for a tab contains only those labels that are located on a specified tab and similarly for validation pane and group. You can customize the properties of a specific label.

MiniViewers

Returns the collection of all mini viewers defined on the validation form, tabs or groups. The miniviewer collection of the validation form object contains all miniviewers independent from their location whereas the miniviewer collection for a tab contains only those that are located on a specified tab and similarly for groups. You can customize the properties of a specific mini viewer.

Name

Returns the name of this element. This property is read-only and cannot be changed.

Text

Sets or returns the text of the element that is then displayed on the form for a label, button, group or tab.

Tip You can use vbCr, vbLf and vbNewLine to force a line break, but those work only when used for rich client modules. For thin clients if you need multiline text you need to insert several elements each having a single line text.

Note In previous versions the text element may be used for localization. For Kofax Transformation Modules 5.5 and later versions it is highly recommended to remove any related script code for localization issues and use the built-in function for the translation instead. For more information, see Project Builder Help.

Visible

Displays or hides the element on the validation form and pane.
