In Main tab is placed Object name field, that lets you specify an object name. An object with the name will be available for other controls and the panel. You can set also a kind of a font (Fonts button) different from default one. If an object is connected with SNMP i.e. if it is used as an argument of Read action or Write action, you can pass its ID string. If an object is used to set a value of SNMP (Write action), you must set a type of this variable by choosing an option of Object type field. You should set Accept incoming Pdu to update an appearance of the object basis of working results of Read actions. Sometimes you can want to paste an additional OID to ID string. Then you must set Accept ID string sticking in object properties. You should pass also a session name in Belongs to session to use an object in any action Read or Write type.

In Text/value on timeout field you can pass a value that a control will receive when it doesn't receive a response from a polling device in expected time. This value will be interpreted as a text when a control (i.e. Label) expects these values otherwise the value will be interpreted as a numerical value.

In Text/value after timeout field you can pass a value that a control will be received after timeout when it doesn't receive a response from a polling device.

Style tab includes a field of choice that gets you four possibilities of receiving of Focus for a given controls: a lack of focus, focus by pressing Tab key, focus by pressing the mouse button and two last options together. In Caption dialog you can pass an inscription which is displayed on a given control (it concerns a part of objects). In ToolTip dialog you can pass a text which is displayed in an response dialog above the object when you drag the mouse cursor on it (empty inscription means a lack of a response). Turning on Enabled option allows you to set a given control in an accessible state by the mouse or the keyboard.

Three buttons are placed on the tab and they helps you to set free color for any controls. Each of the buttons let you specify color which is characteristic for a state in which any controls can be (active, passive and normal).

In Actions tab for each event you can specify a list of actions that will be done. Events for controls mostly can be in two kinds: pressing the left mouse button while the Enter key stays pressed and double clicking the left mouse button. The second event in the case of the mouse always must be preceded the first one. It can cause a situation that actions joined to a double clicking cannot occur or they quickly occur after actions for a single clicking. For this reason you shouldn't define actions for this both events in the case of the same object.

A user has five different kinds of actions at his disposal. Only some type of objects have all kinds of actions. Close action allows you to finish a work of the panel. If the panel is like a dialog, it only closes itself. If it is like a main panel, a work of the whole application is finished. Read action lets you read data of specified objects to update their current view on the panel. Write action passes this data to a managed device.

Program specification Program specification window defines Exec action and it allows you to specify the program and its parameters that will be run during a given event is done. When you specify a program and its parameters, you can pass names preceded $ sign. A name can be: an environmental variable that will be defined during the panel is working, a control name which a value we want to use, a keyword as HostName, ReadCommunity, WriteCommunity, FileName, StickingIDString including appopriate input parameters of xdnnv.

Network Node View parameters window defines Dialog action and it allows you to pass names of a configuration file for xdnnv describing the main panel. You can choose Stick this ID string option and pass OID that will be pasted to controls of a given panel. As in case of Exec action, you can use $ sign and pass after it names of controls or keywords (you can't use environmental variables). Dialog action runs a service of a specified panel in a modal dialog in contrast to Exec action which runs some program.

The buttons of Actions tab allows you to manipulate a list of actions for a given event. The button lets you define a new action among described above. You can specify Read and Write actions in the same way like the panel configuration.

Frame tab lets you configure a frame style of an object and its line width that a frame will be built. In Style group you have some possibilities at your disposal: No Frame, Box, Panel, WinPanel, HLine, VLine, Styled Panel, PopupPanel and frame styles as: Plain, Raised and Sunken. In Line group you can define an outside line width of a frame and in Midline group - a middle line width. An effect of current settings is shown on the preview.
