Creating Graphical User Interfaces

Properties That Control Component Behavior

Various properties enable GUI callbacks to control component behavior. This section discusses those that are common to most components. Reference pages for the components discuss those that are particular to specific components.

In GUIDE, you can set these properties initially with the Property Inspector. You can set them programatically when you create the component, or in your callbacks using the set and get functions.

If you create your GUI programmatically, you can set them when you create the component. In either case, you can modify them in your callbacks using the set and get functions.

For information about other properties including those that control the look and feel of the components, see the reference pages for each component.

The following topics describe the properties that control behavior:

• General Information About the Component
• Information About Component State
• Properties that Affect Callback Execution
• Properties that Affect Component Access
