Using Controls in System Platform Symbols

After you import controls, you can configure them by embedding them into System Platform symbols.

You can embed one or more controls into a System Platform symbol and add graphical features from the System Platform Industrial Graphic Editor to access the methods and properties of the control.

For example, you can create a System Platform symbol to contain the:

• Button Bar control

• Utilization control

The Button Bar control is a special .NET control. You can associate the Button Bar control with another .NET control in the symbol. At run time, the Button Bar control provides a collection of buttons you can use to pass commands to the .NET control.

You can further add buttons, input boxes, and many other elements to your symbol to interact with these embedded controls.
