Paired User Interface Object

This operator is loaded simultaneously with a user interface object. The user interface object can be moved to another page, and would normally be displayed in the end-user application. The operator and this user interface object can never be separated. If you delete the operator, the user interface is deleted automatically as well. Note that you cannot delete the user interface, only the operator symbol!

User Interface Object on Printable Pages

The user interface of this component will be printed on a report, if it is put on a Printable Page (see "Page").

The name of the background image. The image name can be selected from the Image Repository (press the small button). Keep empty to have no background image.

This property uses the Image Repository. For more information about the use of images in a project, refer to "Image Repository"

ImageKeepAspectRatio

type: True or False
Set to True if the background image should keep its aspect ratio. The image will then be centered.

Select one of those presets:
True or False
True may also be read like 'yes' and false like 'no'

The aspect ratio is the ratio between width and height of the image. If the aspect ratio is ignored (this property has value False), then the image may look flattened, or distorted. On the other hand, the image will then fill the entire area of the component.

Title

type: See description
The title above the signal pane. You may use variables in the text. (Note: this is not the Caption of the operator symbol!)

Variables that are used as part of the viewer title are only updated if the viewer itself is updated, so you cannot for example display a clock as title.
One example of use is to display the name of the file that is currently viewed in the viewer. Your title then may look like this:

Viewing file $Design.File Replay.Caption$ (date: $Design.File Replay.FileDate$

Behaviour in relation to the data cursor in reviewed data

This object reacts on a change of the central Data Cursor of a group of synchronized objects. This means that if this object has the same SyncID as the object that changes the Data Cursor, then this object will change its state accordingly. For more information see also: "Data Cursor and the use of SyncID".
