This procedure describes how to create a component Properties-based
widget using the Make Widget wizard.
A Px View canvas is open. No open palette is required.
- In the Nav side bar, expand the tree to locate the component
for which to create a Px View.
- Drag the desired component to the canvas.
The
Make Widget wizard opens.
The ord for the selected component displays in the ord
area.
Note:
- To bind to a different slot or component, double click
the ord and browse to the different slot in the component (for example:
out or value) or to a different component.
- Select the Properties from the Source
options list.
The Secondary View area displays options that are available
for creating the new widget.
- In the Secondary view area, select one or more options
from the list.

This
option displays a separate unbound label that appears directly beside
the bound label when the widget displays on the canvas. Edit the display
label properties using the properties side bar after completing the
Make Widget wizard.
Make Field Editors
This option
displays an area for editing the property in the Px viewer (or in
a browser).
Make From Palette
This option
opens the palette side bar view in the wizard with which to select
a suitable widget template from any available palette.
Display Label and Field Editor Layout options
(By Row or By Column)
These options affect the arrangement
of the properties on the canvas when you complete the wizard. Your
choice of layout is optional and you may rearrange the layout after
you place the items on the canvas.

to bind to the widget, hold the Ctrl key and
select more than one property.
- To complete the wizard, click OK.
The
Make Widget wizard closes and
the new property widgets appear on the
Px Editor canvas.
