The Configure Horizontal Slider task panel enables you to define attributes for a horizontal slider control.
The following table describes the properties and attributes of this model element:
Group |
Property |
Description |
---|---|---|
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. Specify the field using one of the following formats:
|
|
Enabled |
Indicates whether the control is enabled or disabled at runtime. A disabled control is displayed, but is grayed out (including the label), and cannot be activated by the runtime user. You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the control is enabled or disabled, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the control is enabled or disabled at runtime. |
|
Visible |
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. Specify the field using one of the following formats:
|
|
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). |
|
Live |
Indicates whether the value of the bound data field is updated continuously as the runtime user changes the control value (Live checkbox is selected), or whether the value is updated only when the runtime user finishes changing the control value (Live checkbox is cleared). |
|
Tooltip |
Text to be displayed in a tooltip over the element at runtime. 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. |
|
Action |
The event to be triggered or action to be executed when a control value is entered at runtime. You can either enter the name of a custom action directly in the Action field, or you can click the browse button to open the Define Action dialog box and define an action.
