B4J Question [Solved] Custom Views

[Daestrum]

In the #DesignerProperty: does DefaultValue: None have special meaning?
I am trying to set a String property to the literal None and I get effectively null as the default.

No. However you can leave it empty for strings:

#DesignerProperty: Key: StringExample, DisplayName: String Example, FieldType: String, DefaultValue:

The default value will be an empty string.

Unfortunately I actually want it to say None

 

[DonManfred]

#DesignerProperty: Key: StringExample, DisplayName: String Example, FieldType: String, DefaultValue: "None"

??

I've tried double quotes, single quotes , no quotes but it still won't show in designer, the int fields are fine they show the value I specified as defaults.

Found the problem, you can't have a key: name the same as a variable defined in the app. When I renamed the private variables in Class_Globals, the None shows in the designer.

 

[Erel]

There should be no quotes. Make sure to test it by adding a new control. It will not affect an existing control.

I don't think that it is related.

Correct it was your second point that solved it. (but I was keeping quiet so I didn't look silly )
