Learning More About Properties
Dials & Gauges Blockset blocks have many properties. Changing the
appearance of a block might require changing several properties and can be
quite complex. “Modifying ActiveX Control Properties” on page 2-4 discusses
how to make some common changes, such as changing the range of values
displayed on a block.
For information about specific properties, consult the ActiveX control’s help by
double-clicking on the question-mark block that appears in each library of the
Dials & Gauges Blockset. Some libraries provide more than one question-mark
block, when the blocks contained in the library are significantly different from
each other. Once in the Help window, use the
Properties link to display
information about block properties.
