During this exercise you will use the Style Properties dialog in the IBM WebFacing Tool to tailor your Web user interface. You will change the rules for highlighted fields in the 5250 panels so they appear more visible in the Web user interface. The style for highlighted fields will be altered so at runtime the text font will be different and a larger font size will be applied.
To change the rules for highlighted fields:
The WebFacing project properties dialog opens.
In the right pane of the Properties for wflabxx, the DDS Field Display
Attributes pane opens.
The Font dialog opens.
This changes the font size and appearance for parts that have the high intensity attribute active.
Checking the new style
Let's check the new style in your application.
To check the new style:
You will see the first screen of your application.
The customer selection screen has highlighted text and this text should
show in font Comic Sans MS and size 16.
The Font dialog has a bug that makes it impossible to change the Font colors directly. Next you see how to directly change WebFacing style classes.
You have started the Style Properties dialog, changed the DDS Field Display Attributes and checked the new style and now you are ready to begin Exercise 6.2: Changing styles directly.
