Properties

Property	Description
Caption	The caption is the text that the end user sees on the button. This property can be bound to any variable or another widget.
Name	The name is a unique identifier for the button. Special characters and spaces are not allowed in widget name.
Accessibility
Hint	Any text you enter for this property will be shown as a tooltip when the mouse hovers over this widget for _1.5 seconds. _It can be bound to a variable or another widget.
Tab Index	The tab index attribute specifies the tab order of an element. You can use this property to change the default tabbing order for widget access using the tab key. The value can range from 0 to 32767. The default is 0 and -1 makes the element non-focusable. NOTE: In Safari browsers, by default, Tab highlights only text fields. To enable Tab functionality, in Safari Browser from Preferences -> Advanced -> Accessibility set the option "Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage".
Shortcut Key	Alphabet to act as a Shortcut key. The shortcut key property specifies a key to click the button. The way to activate the shortcut key varies from browser to browser (see below for details).
Layout
Width	The width of your widget can be specified in em, pt, px or % (_i.e _50px, 75%).
Height	The height of your widget can be specified in em, pt, px or % (_i.e _50px, 75%).
Default Value
Value	This is the default value to display value for an editor widget. Note that the display value is just what the user sees initially, and is not always the dataValue returned by the widget.
Checked Value	This property defines the value of the widget when the element is in the checked state. The default value is boolean value true. If specified, the value will be of string type.
Unchecked Value	This property defines the value of the widget when the element is in the unchecked state.
Validation
Required	A required editor in wm.LiveForm may refuse to save without a required field.
Behavior
Show	Showing determines whether or not a component is visible. It is a bindable property.
Load on Demand (visible only when show property is bound to a variable)	When this property is set and show property is bound, the initialization of the widget will be deferred till the widget becomes visible. This behavior improves the load time. Use this feature with caution, as it has a downside (as we will not be able to interact with the widget through script until the widget is initialized). When show property is not bound the widget will be initialized immediately.
Disabled	If the disabled property is true (checked) the widget becomes display-only and user input will not be accepted. It can also set programmatically by binding it to a boolean type variable.

Shortcut key: The shortcut key property specifies a shortcut key to check the checkbox. The way of accessing the shortcut key is varying in different browsers:

Browser	Shortcut key Trigger
Internet Explorer	[Alt] + shortcut key
Chrome	[Alt] + shortcut key (Windows/Linux)
	[Control][Alt] + shortcut key (MAC)
Firefox	[Alt][Shift] + shortcut key (Windows/Linux)
	[Control][Alt] + shortcut key (MAC)
