NetAlive Documentation

Program Attributes Dialog

Displays a dialog showing and permitting changes to various parameters associated with the active NetAlive application.

Start automatically

When set, the NetAlive application begins execution immediately on loading (unless "no start on explicit open" is selected as well). Otherwise, the application loads but functions are not activated.

Highest edit level

Sets the highest edit level for the application. NetAlive will disable entry into edit levels higher than the level specified in this field.

Window size when running

Specifies the window-state for tasks created by NetAlive in processing functions. For example, say an application has a function that sorts data. If this function requires a Windows' task, the task will appear as a window in the specified state. If set to "iconic," the task will appear briefly as an icon. Allowable values are iconic, normal, hidden, maximized.

Palette file

Specifies the file name of a palette file. In the current implementation, the palette file must be on a local disk (not a URL).

Run continuously

When unselected, an application will "terminate" when all tasks have run at least once. When selected, a document will never terminate on its own. A document effectively terminates when the user closes the document's window irrespective of this setting.

Regenerate completely

Not used.

Notify when done

When selected, causes NetAlive to display a dialog reporting that the application has terminated. Selecting OK in this dialog causes the document to close. When not selected, the document closes spontaneously. This parameter is irrelevant when "run continuously" is selected.

Editing lock

Reserved (reflects state of an internal variable).

Function source/binary

Reserved.

Document size

Size the document in pixels. Intertask and constrained-replacement views resize themselves based on the positions of tasks.

Minimum NetAlive version

Specifies that the application requires at least the specified version of NetAlive. Loading a newer document into an older version of NetAlive causes NetAlive to offer online information on how to upgrade to a newer version.
