1. vr An important issue is that the images shown in Panellmagenes can have transparent areas allowing us to put more controls ImagesPanel overlapping each other and to display the images that are provided under the above transparent For example suppose we have these three images of the Acimut Monitoriza Image Library We can combine putting a few before others to get this other figure thanks to the parts that are transparent In this case transparency is achieved because the images used are created in vector wmf format and is only a few solid areas concerned If we want a bitmap image have transparency we define the image with the alpha channel with value 0 The main properties of this control are Pag 51 MONITORIZA e Server Group Variable and UseBit Used to refer to the PLC variable depending on the communications server the group that is defined and the symbolic name we give to the variable additionally set the property UseBit if we want to refer to a bit in particular e Images Images property allows us to define the collection of images that we associate with the variable for this operation we will use in the editor of the collection of images in which we will define the variable ranges and images that we associate with each value Propiedades de Rango 0 SANE Illustration 49 Image Collection Edit Window Also the images are affected by the Rotate Property which

6. The ImageList control is used to store images that can be displayed in other controls You can use an image list with any control that has a property ImageList The main properties of this control are e ColorDepth Gets or sets the number of colors used to render the image of the image list This property must be established before the Images property e ImageSize Image size in pixels This property must be established before the Images property e Images Collection of images stored in the ImageList IndicadorAnalogico The function of this control is to show the value of a variable visually having an analog representation of the variable usually when we know the range of values for a variable and want to make a graphical representation of it The control has the ability to store the maximum value it reaches in the corresponding session or while the application is running not permanently stored If you want while running the application you can restore the maximum by clicking on the control You can programmatically invoke the Reset method to reset the control maximum The main properties of this control are MONITORIZA ACIMUT S L PAG 44 MONITORIZA User Manual e ArrowColor Gets or sets the display color of the arrow indicating the value of the variable e Decimals Number of decimal digits shown in the numbers on the scale of values e StoreMaximum Set to True if you want to display dur

One feature that Acimut Monitoriza that helps in the form design is the Image Library In one hand the Image Library is a set of clip art by Acimut that can be used freely in any project that we develop and the in the other hand has the possibility of creating our own image library project having categorized and readily available images ready for use Another advantage of the Image Library is that if we use the images in the Library the project stores only a single instance of the image regardless of how often we use it which makes the size of our projects are not unnecessarily increased Images of the Library Art by Acimut are part of the facility and therefore do not increase the size of your project simply makes a reference to the image Controls in Acimut Monitoriza that are capable of using this feature are e BotonEstado e Panellmagenes e Imagen When setting the Picture property of the image collection and BotonEstado or property Panellmagenes Picture in Picture control us a window like this is shown Selecci g Seleccione imagen Im genes Proyecto Librer a Im genes Monitoriza Categoria Illustration 56 Select an image from Image Library This has two tabs to determine the source of the image The project images which contained all the images that we have added to the project and the Monitoriza Library tab that shows all the images of the library provided by Acimut

ILITY AND PROGRAMMING Although in most of the Monitoriza projects is not necessary to add programming occasionally by the complexity of what is intended or because the developer feels more comfortable it s necessary to have a tool that supports more advanced programming in that case we can say that Monitoriza is programmable in Net that is with all the power of C and Visual Basic Net from Microsoft allowing both simple and elaborate user functions On the one hand we can code the assign of properties and events of the controls inside the own monitoriza editor and on the other hand we can assign external libraries developed in NET Keep in mind that these functions are running on the client side of Monitoriza INTERNAL CODE CodeBindings Monitoriza controls and forms have a number of properties which can be allocated at design time But sometimes we wish this allocation is dynamic depending on what is happening That s why Monitoriza controls have CodeBindings property using this property we reach the next screen Code Binding Editor a Controles i fae Formulario 1 2 Auto ScrollMargin a wg A Auto Scroll Min Size Mitt Ope cl A AutoSize A Auto SizeMode 2 Auto Validate 2 BackColor i Zy a Backgroundlmage 2 e sd BackgroundimageLay FillColorStart r r We can see that we have a list on the left with the properties of the selected control these properties are those that can be allocated dynami
