Each control has a number of properties associated with it. There are common properties (see below) shared with each control, as well as other properties unique to that particular control. When you click on a control, the Properties tab opens, listing the properties by groups, with the Basic Properties group viewable. The Basic Properties are the ones that you'll probably use most often. Below these are groups of other properties unique to the control, followed by the common properties.
To change the value of a property click the control and type in or select the value.
To bind the properties of a control to a DataHub point or another control, please refer to Section 2.4, “Property Binding”.
Common properties shared by all controls include:
A color for the background of the control.
A color for the border of the background of the control.
The thickness of the background border, in pixels, for the left, top, right, and bottom borders, respectively. Adding to this thickness will reduce the visible size of the control.
The radius of each corner of the background border, in pixels, for the top-left, top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left corners, respectively.
These are the same as for the Border, but for a separate inner border.
The width of the margins, in pixels, for the left, top, right, and bottom borders, respectively. Adding to this width will reduce the visible size of the control.
A file to use for a background, selected from the drop-down list. To add images to the DataHub WebView library, you can copy your image files to the following directory:
[OrgLocal]\Images
The width of the image, in pixels.
The height of the image, in pixels.
Aligns the background image with a corner, side, or middle of the control, or stretches it to fill the whole area.
A number between 0 (transparent) and 1 (fully opaque).
The width of the margins, in pixels, for the left, top, right, and bottom sides of the image, respectively. Adding to this width will reduce the visible size of the image.
A number of degrees to rotate the image to the right. The image is static unless this value is bound to a variable.
Flip the image top-to-bottom.
Flip the image right-to-left.
Will this control be visible in Run mode?
A number between 0 (transparent) and 1 (fully opaque).
Causes the control to be visible when the mouse hovers over it in Run mode.
A number of degrees to rotate the control to the right.
Prevents the control from changing size to fit its container when rotated.
Ensures that no part of the control renders outside its bounding rectangle, as when rotating a control or using a negative margin.
Flip the content of the control top-to-bottom.
Flip the content of the control left-to-right.
A number of pixels specifying the distance of the top left corner of the control from the left side of the page.
A number of pixels specifying the distance of the top left corner of the control from the top of the page.
A number of pixels specifying the width of the control.
A number of pixels specifying the height of the control.
Avoids inadvertently changing the size or position of the control.
Have the control fill the page, behind the other controls.
Specifies if the control content rotates.
Specifies the speed, in rotations per minute, of the control content.
