Change the properties of a graphic object

Change the properties of a graphic object to change the name, unique properties for the graphic object, as well as its appearance and behavior at runtime.
The displayed properties for a graphic object depend on the selected graphic object. To open the graphic object to view its contents before changing properties, in
Properties
, select
Editor
.
  1. In the
    Project view
     or in the window, select the container or graphic object.
  2. In
    Properties
    , change the properties in these categories:
    • Name
      . Select the existing name and enter a new name for the graphic object.
    • Appearance
      . Change how the graphic object appears at runtime.
    • Size and layout
      . Change the size and position of the graphic object at runtime.
    • Events
      . Add methods for the events to perform at runtime when the user performs, or the system prompts an action.
      TIP:
      Gauge graphic objects contain
      Value
       and
      Gauge
       categories. If the
      Minimum value
       and
      Maximum value
       properties of a gauge change continuously and rapidly, the performance of the runtime application is impacted because the gauge must be redrawn with each change.
