The IliDbField gadget is very flexible. It has different styles that can determine its look and feel. The style can be changed using the setStyle member function. For more information on the DbField gadgets, see Working with DbFields in Data Access.

A form created using the Forms Assistant (Rogue Wave Views Studio) is made up of a set of DbField, each of which is connected to a column of the underlying table object. Initially, each DbField has a default style that can subsequently be changed, if required.

The flexibility of the DbField look and feel lets you modify the styles of each of the DbField contained in the form to suit your requirements. Without this flexibility, you would have to replace a DbField object with the appropriate object to change its style.
