Impact Reference Guide Scrolling Table

4. Set the desired Scroll Direction and Scrolling Limit. These two settings determine whether the table
scrolls up, down, right, or left, and how many rows or columns of values are displayed before they drop
off the table.
To display values in the table, you can drop other controls into table cells and then link values into them, or
drag properties directly from VPM tools into table cells. If you add controls directly to the table, you can
only use qualifying controls. Qualifying controls include Text Display, Numeric Display, Check Box (the
Editable property is set to False), Indicator Light, and Drop List Selector (the Selectable property is set to
False).
If you drag and drop a property from a tool, a default qualifying control is added to the table based on the
property’s data type.
NOTE: When you add a control to a table, it may automatically resize (depending on the Auto Resize prop-
erty). If you want to modify a Scrolling Table property, you need to click on the outer edge of the Scrolling
Table control to select it. To move the Scrolling Table control, you need to click an edge of the table, drag
the edge to expand it, then click in an empty table cell and drag the table to the desired location.
To add controls to a table
1. Open the Control palette.
2. Click and drag the desired control, then drop it on top of the Scrolling Table control on the canvas.
3. When you release the control, the Scrolling Table resizes automatically, (if Auto Resize is True) and a
default label is added to either the row or column, depending on the Scroll Direction property. The
label is a CPM Text Display control so you can select it and modify its properties as needed.
4. To modify the properties of any control in the table cell, select the control in the cell. Its properties,
methods, and events are displayed in the property window.
To add tool properties to a table
1. Open the Vision Program Tree.
