FILL-IN widget

A fill‑in widget is the simplest form of data representation. Within a fill‑in, the field value is displayed as a string of characters that you can edit. A fill‑in is the default representation for data. You can explicitly set up a static fill‑in with the VIEW-AS phrase. You can create a dynamic fill‑in with the CREATE widget statement.

Note:

The default sizing of fill-ins occurs only when you use the default font. When you explicitly specify a font, the AVM uses the average width of that font.
