.NET Browser(Configuration)

.NET Browser(Configuration)

The Grid Configuration button on the Object Properties dialog opens additional dialogs that allow you to do the following:

.    Associate tags to properties of the .NET Component.

.    Trigger methods from the .NET Component based on tag change.

.    Configure scripts, which are executed when Events from the .NET Component occur.

The following sections describe how to configure these interfaces.

Note: Although the Members dialog displays the list of all properties, methods and events, you only have to configure the items that you need for your project.

The screen shots used in the following sections depict the Button component. Although the names of properties, methods and events varies by component, the configuration interface is the same for any .NET Component. The concepts described here apply to all of them.

General Tab:

The General tab provides general information about the .NET Component, like name, namespace, framework version, culture and publickkeytoken.

Methods Tab:

The Methods tab provides a grid with the following fields:

Method Name: Lists all methods available from the .NET Component.

Trigger: When the tag configured in this field changes value, the respective method of the .NET Component is executed.

Return: The tag configured in this field receives the value returned by the method (if any).

Note: When you click the Browser Button (), it will display the list of TAGs of the current project, allowing you associate one tag to the .NET component method

Properties Tab

The Properties tab provides a grid with the following fields:

Tag: The tag configured in this field is associated with the respective property of the .NET Component. The Action column will define whether the value of this tag will be written to the property, or if the value of the property will be written to this tag (or both).

Events Tab

The Events tab provides a grid with the following fields:

Event Name: Lists all events available from the .NET Component.

Event Script: The script configured in this field will be executed when the event is triggered by the .NET Component.
