Description

::root

::isvalue

contains true if the form is used for displaying values (edit mode or read-only mode) opposed to query mode (see valuetype in ApplicationView).

::isedit

contains true if the form is in edit mode opposed to read-only mode (see edittype in ApplicationView). ::isedit is only valid if ::isvalue is true.
