SetDisplay

This function sets additional (alternate) display names for an application. This provides a display "container" for variations to the applications such as when the app runs in a different languageor is used with special prompt captions (i.e. Extra large text if displaying on a forklift). The prompts may have their font sizes changed to be seen more easily on large displays from a distance. The underlying code references the prompts by their Field ID or number so the many displays of the application only need one code base.

See also App.Display.
