10.7. Specific tabs for particular type of controls

10.7.1. The Specific tab for Line edit control

- Line edit control allows you to edit a text of a single line.

Echo field of Specific tab lets you set if during a text edition the characters be able to write (Normal) or not (No Echo) and whether asterisks be able to display instead of a text (Password). The tab helps you to set a maximum value of characters (Maximum character count) that can be written by a user. You can also choose if Line edit is surrounded with a frame (Frame around this single line edit).

10.7.2. The Specific tab for Label control

- Label control displays one or more rows of a text or a picture.

Specific tab allows you to pass a path to a graphic file or use a preview button to choose the file using a dialog. If a graphic file can be displayed, it will replace a text of a control. If a text is displayed, you will set a kind of paragraph and whether a text be able to split into lines including whole words. You can do this using buttons from Alignment group. Transparent control option lets the control be transparent. In a case when a text is displayed, a background of the control won't be shown while in a case when a picture is presented, the control only will exist in points that the picture isn't transparent.

10.7.3. The Specific tab for Push button control

- Push button control confirms a user's choice.

The tab lets you pass a path to a graphic file like in a case of Label. It allows you to choose whether the control can be a default button for a dialog or it can be Toggle button. In this case you must pass equivalent of some integer number for each of states.

10.7.4. The Specific tab for Progress bar control

- Progress bar control mostly shows current value (greater or equal zero) of a specified parameter.

Orientation group of Specific tab gives you two ways of Progress bar presenting: Vertical or Horizontal. The control must have a maximum positive value (a minimum one is always equal zero). The value can be passed as fixed or it can depend on an object value of monitoring device when its identifier (OID) is passed. When you want to build this identifier through sticking some string, you can choose additionally Accept ID string sticking field. In Text group you can pass one of three possibilities of a current value displaying: without a text, an absolute value or a percent value.

10.7.5. The Specific tab for Check box control

- Check box control is a toggle button and allows you to select or unselect a specified option.

Check box is a control similar to Push button. So, Specific tab lets you pass a graphic file which is displayed instead of a text. Because the control has two states, you must pass some integer numbers for each of states.

10.7.6. The Specific tab for Combo box control

- Combo box control allows you to choose a specified item of available items list.

Style field of Specific tab allows you to choose one of three accessible styles. Motif 2 (read-write) style lets you edit Combo box control. In this case you can choose automatic adding of a completion from an available items list (Auto completion field). You must also pass how many lines a field of a control list will be high (Line limit field) and you must assign a number to the first line in Read-Write mapping group. This assignment allows to imitate values on a text from an available items list (this object sends by Write action and receives by Read action an integer value unless the list is created dynamically).

The edited field allows you to pass specified items of the list. If the list of items is created dynamically, you must choose Dynamic list field. Then Combo box ID string allows you to build items of the list. The object identified by the ID string means as the first item of MIB chart, that will be transformed into an item list of the control through the next SNMP requests of Get-Next type.

10.7.7. The Specific tab for Group box control

- Group box control groups objects.

Specific tab allows you to choose a kind of a title alignment as regards an object width. A text can be aligned to left or right side or central.

10.7.8. The Specific tab for List box control

- List box control lets you set an item of a list.

In Read-Write mapping group of Specific tab you should pass an index value of the first item to which a control value will be mapped during its recording or reading (similarly as in Combo box control). A static item list you can pass in Items dialog. If you want to create a dynamic list, you should choose Dynamic list. A creation procedure and working of the list was shown describing Combo box control.

10.7.9. The Specific tab for Radio button group control

- Radio button group control lets you choose one of options available in a group.

Text alignment field of Specific tab lets you set a specified kind of a title alignment. You can also create a list with accessible options passing names of objects in Radio buttons group and you can set an order of their indexing and ascribe an initial index number to the first object (Start indexing from field). A defined Radio buttons you can configure by duble clicking it the left mouse button. Then you can pass a path to a graphic file that is displayed instead of a text. Each object like that you can move and change its size but only within Radio button group control.

10.7.10. The Specific tab for Scroll bar control

- Scroll bar control lets you manipulate other control value and present a current value between defined ranges.

In Range group of Specific tab you can pass limited values (a minimum and maximum value). In Steps group you should set quantity of steps and in Orientation field - a kind of the control orientation. There are a list of objects connecting with the control and buttons to manipulate the list items in Connected controls group. These objects will react to moves of the control slide. Objects receiving new values of Scroll bar update their view depending on their specific properties.

As in case of Progress bar you can set that limited values will be able to change dynamically (in case of Progress bar you have one limited value while the second value is always zero). A description of Sroll bar and its list of items created dynamically is described in Progress bar description.

10.7.11. The Specific tab for Slider control

- Slider control lets you manipulate values of other control and present a current value between defined ranges.

Specific tab includes configuration items similarly to Scroll bar. In Ticks field you can choose a way of drawing of a scale marks around the control while in Interval group you can set a distance between marks of a scale.

10.7.12. The Specific tab for Spin box control

- Spin box control allows you to manipulate a value taking specified ranges into consideration.

In Range group of Specific tab you should pass a range of values accepted by the control (as in Scroll bar and Slider). In Steps group you should pass a step quantity of the control. Choosing Wrapping option causes the values are wrapped i.e. after the greatest value follows the lowest one and vice versa. In Text group you can pass Prefix and Suffix appearing around displaying value of Spin box. A minimum value can be displayed as a text if you pass it in Text when min. field.

10.7.13. The Specific tab for List view control

- List view control presents a list of items split into columns.

If you choose Dynamic lists field of Specific tab, you will be able to create a list of items dynamically for an object, otherwise you must pass in Rows count group, in Static value field a number of rows.

When you press the button , Cells configuration dialog appears. It allows you to configure particular cells of a list showing different possibilities. They are depended on the list which is static or dynamic. For the static list, all cells (number of columns multiplied by number of rows) are available while for the dynamic one - only the first row. When you choose a column of Current column field and double click the left mouse button on the specified row of the list, A single cell configuration dialog appears for a specified cell.

For each cell you can pass an object identifier of MIB that the cell presented a value of the object. In this case you should set Accept incoming Pdu field. If the identifier is built by sticking additional OID, you must choose Accept ID string sticking option.

In Columns group of Specific tab is presented a list of columns.

When you define a new column and press the button , New column dialog appears in which you should pass its title, its initial width and its kind of a text alignment and you must decide, that a column will react to clicking the mouse or you will be able to change its width.

All columns show focus field of Specific tab allows you to choose that all columns will have a focus or only the first one. Enable column moving field shows you if the columns can be replaced.

The button runs Configure sorting window that allows you to configure a sorting for a whole object: a column number and a kind of an order (increasing or decreasing).

10.7.14. The Specific tab for LCD number control

- LCD number presents a numerical value.

Number of digit field of Specific tab allows you to set a number of digits that will be displayed. Degree style option shows you if a degree character is displayed or not. In Mode group you can choose one of four ways of number displaying: binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal. If Degree style option is set, decimal number always will be displayed. Segment style group lets you choose one of three ways of digit drawing.

10.7.15. The Specific tab for Graph control

- Graph control presents next values of data in a form of a time function graph.

In Range group of Specific tab you should pass limited values (a minimum and maximum value). In Title alignment and lines count you can choose a kind of a text alignment, a number of horizontal lines and distance between them. Filled graph option lets you choose that a graph will be filled with color or drawn as line. Show increase of the value instead of its own option helps you to show an increase of the value instead of the value. In Colors group you can choose colors that will be used to draw a graph, a grid and a background.

As in a case of Progress bar you can set that limited values were depended on values of MIB objects. The Graph work is shown in a description of Progress bar control.

You can also use other way to manipulate the control ranges choosing Use dynamic ranges option. It shows that limited values can be changed when are exceeded during the control work.

10.7.16. The Specific tab for Control light control

- Control light control shows its current state in an intuitive way.

In All values group of Specific tab you can pass a number of all possible values. For each value in Current item group, fields: Min value and Max value assign a closed range of accepted values by the item. Type field allows you to choose a kind of a shape or a graphic file that will represent this value. Depending on specified value of Type field you can pass a path to a graphic file or a line color and a color filling a specified shape and whether the shape can be drawn flatly or spatial. Flashing timer interval in 1/10 of second 0 means inactive) field lets you turn on timer with a given interval in 1/10 of seconds. A zero value causes the timer isn't run. During the work of a timer Control light alternately accepts once a given value (a value, that is currently configured) and next time a value given in Assign this value when in inactive state (when flashing) field.

Chooseing Transparent control option causes that the control will be without a background (it will be transparent).

10.7.17. The Specific tab for Line control

- Line control shows its current state in an intuitive way.

A configuration of Line control is similar to Control light configuration. A main difference is a fact that a value of Type field is common for all the control values. In Line width filed you should pass a control width in pixels. Line control as distinct from Control light always is transparent.
