You can also use the ActiveX Property Panel to change other
properties for the button, such BackColor, Height, and Width.

For details about using the ActiveX Property Panel, see page 11-75.

Naming graphic objects

Once you have drawn a graphic object, you can name it. Naming a
graphic object allows you to manipulate the object using commands
(for example, when using the Invoke command with an ActiveX
object).

You can also give the object a tooltip description. Tooltips appear at
runtime when you bring the cursor to rest over an object for a few
seconds, if the object is not inactive (grayed out).

Tooltips only appear on buttons, data entry fields, recipe fields, and
objects with touch, slider, or object key animation.

Also see “Naming an ActiveX object” on page 12-35.

1.

Select one object.

2.

Right–click the object, and then click Object Name/Tooltip.

3.

In the New field, type a name for the object.

4.

If required, type a tooltip description.
