Place a level slider

This part of the tutorial shows how to select a slider control from the Symbol Library and then connect it to the animated tank.

1. On the Draw tab of the ribbon, in the Libraries group, select Symbols.

2. In the Symbols menu tree, open the System Symbols folder and then open the Sliders sub-folder.

   

3. In the Sliders sub-folder, select a slider control.

   You may select any slider you like; they all function basically the same way.

4. Click on the symbol.

   The mouse cursor will change to show that the symbol is ready to be placed in a screen.

5. Switch back to the screen where you want to place the symbol and click in it.

   The symbol is placed as a Linked Symbol object.

6. Double-click the object to open its Object Properties dialog.

7. For the property TagName, delete the existing value and then type Level[Index].

   Just as with the tank, you need to modify the symbol property associated with the slider level.

8. Close the Object Properties dialog.

9. Go to File, and then select Save.

This figure shows what your screen should look like after you have created the level slider object.
