Using Windows Common Controls

You can add the following Windows common controls to your graphic:

• Radio button group

• Check box

• Edit box

• Combo box

• Calendar control

• DateTime picker

• List box

You can place these Windows common controls as you would any other element by selecting them from the Tools panel. You click on the canvas to position a common control and, with exception of the calendar control, drag the rectangle to set of the control.

After placing the control on the canvas, you can then configure:

• Background color and text color (with exception of the DateTime Picker control).

• Other control-specific properties in the Properties Editor.

• Control-specific animations.

• The common Value property in scripting to read from and write to the Windows common control at run time.
