To create a Set Data link, hold down the Shift key while you select the property in VPM with the left mouse
button, then drag and drop it onto an empty spot on the Control Panel Canvas or the Control Panel Tree. This
table lists the control choices for a drag and drop Set Data link.
Drag and Drop - Existing Control
This section describes the kind of control that is added to a Control Panel when you create a link to an exist-
ing control on the Canvas or in the Control Tree and there is only one property of that type to choose. For
example, if you drag and drop a Blob List property to an image, the Blob List ROI control is added to the
Image Display control automatically and the Blob List property is linked.
Get Data
To create a Get Data link, select the desired property in VPM with the left mouse button, then drag and drop
it onto an existing control on the Control Panel Canvas or the Control Panel Tree. This table lists the default
controls added for drag and drop Get Data links to an existing control.
