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).
	    
 
14.7.2. 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.

	    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.
	    
 
14.7.4. 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.
	    
 
14.7.5. 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.
	    
 
14.7.6. 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.
	    
 
14.7.7. 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.
	    
 
14.7.8. 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.
	    
 
14.7.9. 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.
	    
 
14.7.10. 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.
	    
 
14.7.11. 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.
	    
 
14.7.12. 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.
	    
 
14.7.13. 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).
	    
 
14.7.14. The Specific tab for LCD number control
 
	    
 - 
	    LCD number presents a numerical value.

	    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.
	    
 
14.7.15. 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.
	    
 
14.7.16. 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).
	    
 
14.7.17. 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.
