Comments
The format string argument, fmt_string, specifies the display format for the data to be displayed. fmt_string can be used to specify the format for an object of type integer, real, string, boolean, ObjectReference, option, filename, or tableform.
Standard "C" formatting rules are used to display integer, real, or string data. Boolean data may be displayed as a toggle button by setting fmt_string to Toggle. To display a tableform in a cell, the ds_var argument specifies the variable name of the tableform and fmt_string is set to Form. Data of type filename and ObjectReference are displayed as a file browser and an entity collector.
When used in a *DefineTableForm() block, the argument, ds_var, in the *SetCell() statement refers to a variable in the table without specifying the record index. Variables are automatically indexed as multiple records are displayed in the table form.
