Adding widgets using the Make Widget wizard

The Make Widget wizard provides properties for creating widget bindings.

You can add graphic visualizations to your Px page by dragging pre-made widgets from a palette or by making new widgets. When you make a widget using the Make Widget wizard, the window provides properties for creating the widget bindings.

  1. From the Nav side bar, drag a widget onto the Px Editor canvas.
    The Make Widget wizard opens, with the ord for the selected component displaying in the ord area.

  2. To change the ord value, double-click it.
  3. From the Source options list, select the type of binding (choose from: Bound Label, Properties, Actions, and others).
    Note: Binding options that are dimmed indicate invalid options for the selected component.
    The Secondary view area displays properties and options that are related to the selected Source option.
  4. In the Secondary view area, choose a widget template, formatting options for display labels, or views, as appropriate for your Source option.
  5. In the right-hand list of properties, edit the properties or actions, as desired.
  6. To complete the configuration, click OK.
    The wizard closes and your new widget displays on the Px Editor canvas.
  7. To toggle the view, click the view/edit mode tool bar icon ().
    This icon alternates between displaying the widget in the Px Viewer and Px Editor.
