Work with wizards

Using wizards, you do not spend time drawing the individual components for the object, or entering the value ranges for the object, or animating the object.

• You select wizards from the Wizards Selection dialog.

• You configure wizards by typing tags and QuickScripts in configuration dialog boxes.

• When you paste a selected wizard into a window and then double-click it, the Configuration dialog box appears.

For example, in the case of a slider wizard, the configuration includes items such as the tagname to effect, the minimum and maximum range labels for the slider, the fill color, and so on. After the required configuration information is provided, the wizard is ready to use.

You can also develop your own complex wizards to provide behind the scenes types of operations. These operations can include creating complete display windows, creating or converting a database, importing an AutoCAD drawing, and configuring other applications.

Before creating your own wizards, you should investigate Industrial graphics, which offer wizard functionality, but do not require programming.
