«Properties» Window
750
The window can be called via the textual menu of the macro editor: «View|Properties». It serves for viewing
and specifying properties and events (methods) of a form and elements placed on the form. This window
remains empty until a form or an element located on the form is selected.
Control element properties are the parameters defining an object's characteristics (name, color, position
etc.).
Events of control element are the actions performed over the object of a control element, such as clicking a
«Button» control element. While a program (macro) is running, a control element event gets bound to
executing certain commands. For example, the event of clicking a «Button» control element can be bound to
creating a T-FLEX CAD object.
The upper part of the «Properties» window contains the list with form elements. To view and modify
properties of a form element, select it in the list or select the element on the screen form itself by .
The «Properties» window works in one of the two modes:
• If the «Properties» option is active on the window toolbar, then the window will be displaying
element properties.
• If the «Events» option is active, then the window displays events.
The «Properties» window is divided into two parts. The left column displays the names of the object
properties. The right column displays property values.
If the window is in the mode of showing events, then the right hand side column of the window displays the
events attainable for the given element type. The left-hand side column shows the names of the functions that
are currently used for the given element and event.
