The Object properties pane holds a number of properties that apply to any kind of control.
| Property Name | Assignment | Description |
|---|---|---|
Name | static | |
| Type | static | |
| Page | static | |
| Layer | static | |
| Visible | static | True, the control is visible. |
| dynamic | empty string, 0, false, and off set the control to invisible, otherwise the control is visible. A variable can be used here, e.g. {IV:NETx\VAR\Boolean\Item001} to show the control depending on the content of the given boolean item. | |
  The visibility of controls follows the order layer, group, control, i.e. the layer setting has highest priority. | ||
| Group | static | |
| Custom_Tooltip | static | Allows to override the default tooltip for the control. Allows the use of variables in the text. Use the phrase {0} to insert the last known value of the control (analog to {IV:this}). If necessary apply string formats to the phrase, e.g. {0:0.0} to always display at least 1 digit before and after the decimal separator. Other variables can also be used, e.g. {IP:this.100} to insert the item unit in the text. |
| Text | static/dynamic | |
