The GwxProcessPoint type exposes the following members.

Constructors

  NameDescription

Creates a dynamic process point animation with default properties.

Methods

  NameDescription
Public methodCheckAccess
Determines whether the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject.
(Inherited from DispatcherObject.)
Public methodClearValue(DependencyProperty)
Clears the local value of a property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyProperty identifier.
(Inherited from DependencyObject.)
Public methodClearValue(DependencyPropertyKey)
Clears the local value of a read-only property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyPropertyKey.
(Inherited from DependencyObject.)
Public methodClone

(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyAnimationMode
Indicates the animation behavior of this dynamic.
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyAutoGrowIntegerDigits

(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyCanFreeze
Gets a value that indicates whether the object can be made unmodifiable.
(Inherited from Freezable.)
Public propertyComment
When this property is true, if Confirm is also true, this property indicates that the confirmation message will provide the user with field to enter a comment to be logged for the written value. This property is unused when the Confirm property is false.
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyCommentRequired
When this property is true, if Confirm and Comment are also true, this property indicates that the user must enter a non-empty comment to be logged for the written value. This property is unused when either the Confirm or Comment properties are false.
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyConfirm
When true, this property indicates that a warning message should be displayed prior to performing a data write that has been initiated via user interaction (the warning message allows the user to cancel the pending data write, or to proceed with the write). When false, the data write occurs without a confirmation message. This property is unused when the dynamic is not controllable.
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyContinuousWrite
When true, this property indicates that the dynamic should continuously write new values while the user is interacting with the dynamic control (as in the case of dragging a slider). When false, this property indicates that the dynamic should only write a value when the user has finished interacting with the dynamic control (as in the case of releasing a slider after having dragged it to a new position).
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyControl
When this property is true, this target object associated with this dynamic can be clicked on by the user to perform some action (i.e. slider, dial, button, dataentry). Usually, controllable objects are used to write data values.
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyCustomConfirmMessage
A custom confirmation message.
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyCustomData
A string field for custom data. The purpose of this field is defined by the user; it can be used to hold any extra configuration data in string format.
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyCustomKeypadLayout
Filename of a custom keypad layout. If not specified, an appropriate layout will be automatically chosen based on the datatype/format of this Process Point.
Public propertyDataComparison
Type of comparison for DataSource and Limit(s) (or zero).

For Discrete Animations - animation will activate when comparison is true.

For Analog Animation - animation will be skipped when comparison is false (if not specified, animation is always active).

For GwxProcessPoint - designates type of range validation for data entry.

(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyDataEntryLostFocusWritesValue
When true, clicking outside of an active Data Entry field will write the value (the Escape key can still be used to cancel writing the value). When false, clicking outside of an active Data Entry field will cancel the write (the Enter key or Tab key must be used to write the value). Default is to use the document-level setting for DataEntryLostFocusWritesValues.

(Inherited from DependencyObject.)
Public propertyDescription

In general this property represents the time it takes for an animation to complete a cycle. This time is expressed in milliseconds.
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyDynamicConnectionList
This list is used internally to compose a list of multiple dynamics to a single more complex/powerful dynamic object. A prime example of this is the GwxPickMenuItem dynamic configured to display a popup menu. In this case, the DynamicConnectionList is used to create a tree of child GwxPick objects, each representing a different command item on the menu. Other dynamics that use this list are GwxStateSelector, GwxRangeSelector, and GwxProcessPoint.
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyDynamicStateWhenToggleOff
This property indicates that when this dynamic is not toggling, the alternate state of the dynamic (rather than the default state) should be used. For instance, if toggle (flash) is specified for a GwxHide dynamic, when this property is true, the associated static object will be hidden when not flashing (when this property is false, the object will be visible when not flashing).
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyEnableControlEvents

Public propertyLowLimitSource
This property specifies a low limit for value used in the analog animation.
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)

Public propertyPadLeftCharacter
Character used for left padding.
Public propertyPartitionMode
Indicates how to define the "partition" behavior of this analog dynamic. This feature is used to divide an analog range into a specified number of steps (useful for providing "tick" behavior in sliders, for example).
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyPartitionOrigin

(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)

Public propertyPasswordHashing
Specifies how the user-entered text should be hashed/protected.
  • None = plain text (no hashing)
  • Pbkdf2 = hash using Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 (RFC 2898) - suitable for use with this application's security system.
Public propertyPeriodicToggleRate
If this property is specified, when the discrete state of the primary datasource would activate this dynamic, rather then simply activate the dynamic, the dynamic’s activation state will be periodically toggled on and off. This property represents the time interval between toggle state changes (i.e. for GwxHide and GwxColor dynamics, this represents the flash rate). This time is expressed in milliseconds.
(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)

(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyResolveAliasesInDragDropDataSource

True to display numbers in scientific notation.
Public propertyShowAsDataType
The datatype to display the value of the datasource as regardless of the datatype of the datasource. In other words, this property "casts" the datasource value to a specific type prior to displaying the value. Use Object for no cast (use the native type of the current data value).
Public propertyShowDataSourceNameInToolTip

(Inherited from GwxDynamic.)
Public propertyStartPercent
Used to specify a starting magnitude for the animation (range: 0.0 to 1.0).
