Specifies the data set for which the data source component serves as a conduit to data-aware controls. Set DataSet to the name of an existing data set component either at design time, or at runtime. By changing the value of DataSet at runtime an application can effectively use the same data-aware controls to display and edit data in different data sets.

Use DataSetField when the data set is the nested detail set of another data set, such as an Oracle8 nested data set. Read DataSetField to access the data set field component in the master data set that includes this data set as a detail. Set DataSetField to a field component in the master data set to assign this data set as the value of that field.

Links the edit control to the data set that contains the field it represents.

When ShowAccelChar is True, any character preceded by an ampersand appears underlined. If the FocusControl property is set, the windowed control specified by the FocusControl property receives input focus when the user types that underlined character. To display an ampersand when ShowAccelChar is True, use two ampersands (&&) to stand for the single ampersand that is displayed.

Use TADOTable to access data in a single database table using ADO. TADOTable provides direct access to every record and field in an underlying database table. An ADO table component can also work with a subset of records within a database table using ranges and filters.

Use TableName to specify the base table in a database on which the ADO table component operates. Data is retrieved from and changes written to this base table. Before setting or changing the value of TableName, deactivate the ADO table component by calling its Close method or setting its Active property to false. At design-time, if a valid connection to a database can be established, the Object Inspector provides a drop-down list of names of available tables.

Indicates the database table structure for the table that this component represents.

Specifies the size of the tabs in e.g. a list box or page control.

Specifies the order of the tabs in e.g. a list box or page control.

Determines whether the component appears on screen.

Indicates if the user should be allowed to navigate up in the Viz Engine tree when selecting a Viz resource in an image control. Note that VizDenyBrowseUp is ignored in Director. This means that while users of Viz Pilot News inside a Newsroom System are limited by the VizDenyBrowseUp property, users of Director are considered graphics/video/maps super users and can use any image in the Director template.

Starting location in the Viz Engine tree when selecting a Viz resource in an image control. Only considered if there is no pre-selected value in the control and, in Pilot News, also when VizDenyBrowseUp is set and the pre-selected value is not within the folder specified here.
