Dials & Gauges Blockset

Accessing the Properties

You can view ActiveX control properties by using one of these procedures:

• Double-click on the active area of the block that contains the control.
• Right-click on the active area of the block and select the Control Display Properties option.

This figure shows the context menu that appears when you right-click on the Generic Knob block.

After you select the Control Display Properties option, the ActiveX Control Properties dialog box appears. This dialog box allows you to modify ActiveX control properties. The next figure shows the dialog box for the Generic Knob block.

If you modify any values in this dialog box, then the block is visually updated immediately. However, the changes are not permanent until you choose OK or Apply; if you choose Cancel, then the changes will be undone.
