Panel and Controls Properties and Tabs
The tabs in this area allow you to view and define properties, methods, events, and view existing links for a
Control Panel and controls. (The Connector control has additional tabs. See “Impact Connector” on page 4-
107.)
A property is a visible aspect of a control like color, transparency, label, or size. Properties are defined in
different ways. Some are typed into the value field, for others you click in the field to select from a list or
palette, and some can only be linked to another property or a vision program tool. You can only link a prop-
erty to a property.
A method allows you to affect the behavior of a control based on an event. For example, you can enable,
hide, or change the state of controls. You can only link an event to a method.
An event occurs when a control property or state changes, for example when a button changes state or a
check box is checked. You can only link an event to a method (events are "Source Only.")
The Link Summary displays all the links to and from the selected control. See page “Links between CPM
controls” on page 4-19 for more details about links.
More information about each control’s properties, methods, and events is listed with the controls starting
with “CPM Controls” on page 4-23.
