·     Name is the name assigned to this GUI Attribute. The name is used for controlling the GUI object with ILF code so that, for example, certain image selections could be disabled by user id.

Access to the GUI attributes at runtime with ILF code is done via the --- WIDGET file. The WIDGET records from the process are copied into this file and are available in the Pre-Display event point. WIDGET NAME is a key to this file. You can read and rewrite records in this file to affect the GUI attributes at runtime.

For example, when specifying the attributes for a wallpaper or a wallpaper/title bar combination, the resource identifies the image file to use. The resources associated with an application can be found using this menu path:
