General

Label

The label text to be displayed to the left of the control. You can either enter the text directly in the Label field, or click the fx button to define the label text using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

Value

The field to which the control is bound. You can either enter the field data directly in the Value field, choose a field from the dropdown list, or choose Define Expression from the dropdown list to specify a field value using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

Visible

Indicates whether the control is hidden or displayed at runtime.

You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the control is hidden or visible, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the control is displayed or hidden at runtime.

Indent

Defines the alignment of the control within the layout column.

You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the control is indented or left-aligned, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the control is indented at runtime.

For some control types, left-aligning the control hides the label and stretches the control to fill the entire column width; for other control types, it hides the label and left-aligns the control (without changing the control width).

You can either enter the tooltip text directly in the Tooltip field, or click the fx button to define the tooltip using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

Defines the label for the low end of the range.

You can either enter the label text directly in the Min. Label field, or click the fx button to define the label using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

Maximum

Max. label

Defines the label for the high end of the range.

You can either enter the label text directly in the Min. Label field, or click the fx button to define the label using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

Step size

The value into which to divide up the range.

Ticks

Number of tick marks displayed on the control.

You can either enter the label text directly in the Min. Label field, or click the fx button to define the label using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.
