Set data bindings

You can associate a reference to an attribute with the Data Binding pane instead of with scripting. Information can be passed in either direction or both directions as desired. Changes to the status of one can affect the other.

To set data bindings

1. In the Industrial Graphic Editor, double-click the Trend Client. The Edit Animations dialog box appears.

2. Click Data Binding. The data binding information appears in the right pane.

   

   The Data Binding table contains the following read-only information:

   Name	The name of the property.
   Type	The .NET data type of the property.
   Value	The value of the property.

3. Click the Direction icon to disable the link entirely or change the direction of the data flow. If the arrow points to the right (away from the name of the property), the status of the Trend Client property affects the attribute you’re binding to. If the arrow points to the left (toward the name of the event), the status of the Trend Client property is affected by the attribute you’re binding to. If the arrow points both ways, a change in the status of one affects the other.

4. Double-click Reference to enter reference information. Click the ellipsis button to open the Galaxy Browser and use the Element Browser. For more information, see Chapter 3, Working with Objects, in the Application Server User Guide.

5. Select Show all properties to show all properties for which there is data binding information.

6. Click OK.
