The widget type informs about the kind of basic objects in the data model the mask of the widget points to. Thus the widget gets its significance in the data model of your application. Special widget attributes whose values directly refer to the objects in the data model and to the element in the corresponding data base tables depend on the widget type (cf. > dal_wdg_cre_wdg < ).
