Checkbox
The checkbox control in the Pane Designer inserts a checkbox in the pane. When the control is selected in the ribbon, it is inserted below the actual pane area.
Drag the checkbox to the wished place in the pane:
The following properties can be changed for the Checkbox control: (these sections can be found in the Art Board to the right in the Pane Designer)
Brushes
Change the color of the checkbox by using the brush in the art board. Changing color can be done in two ways:
- Dragging the marker in the brush area to the desire color.
- Entering a specific # color code in the defined area.
Layout
- Width: Can be changed in the art board or by dragging the bottom-right corner of the control to the right width.
- Height: Can be changed in the art board or by dragging the bottom-right corner of the control to the right height.
- Enabled: Should the control be enabled or disabled?
- Opacity
- Hidden: Should the control be visible for the end-user?
You can also view the position of the box in the Layout section. View the X and Y position by dragging the control to desired position. When positioning many controls in a pane, it is a good idea to view the X position of the controls to make sure that they are positioned straight under each other.
Use the "Snap to Grid" feature for the pane to allow more precision when positioning the controls.
Common Properties
Control Tag
The controls in the pane for which values should be sent into the generated document, need to be named with a control tag. The control tag ID, will then be matched to the tags defined in the Pane worksheet in the template. In column B and C for the matched control tag the selected value from the selection pane will be inserted in the Pane worksheet.
Tooltip
Enter a tooltip that will display when the end-user hovers over the list control in the selection pane:
Get Latest Value
Check the box if you want the control to always automatically return the latest selected value. If the control also has a default procedure connected, the auto_get_latest setting will override the default value for the particular control.
Important: Not supported in dashboard panes.
Text
Enter a text that will display to the right of the checkbox. If no text should be visible to the right, leave the field empty. Or, add a label control if the text should be some other place.
Default Value(s)
The option to connect it to a script that defines default values for the checkbox. If any parameter is necessary to define, then these will be visible below the "Default value(s)" listbox:
