**ShowOnField( **//text, fieldequ //**)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **ShowOnField** | Show text on a selected control. |
| //text// | A string constant or variable that contains the text to display on the control. |
| //fieldequ// | An LONG integer that indicates the field equate label of the control the text is to be displayed. |

The **ShowOnField** method displays a //text// value into a given control, specified by its field equate (//fieldequ//). The control must be a valid target (string, entry, text, or combo). Other types of controls are assigned the text value using the PROP:Text property.

**Implementation:**

The **ShowOnField** method is called from the ToShowValues method.
