Control Type

The type of control: knob, button, fader, etc.


Options
Color when off	The color of the control when it is switched off. Click the color sample, then choose a color from the color palette.

Toggle	When clicked, the control switches on and remains on until it is clicked again.
Momentary	While the mouse pointer is over the control and the mouse button is down, the control is switched on. It switches off immediately when the mouse button is released.
Binary	The control is switched on when the position value passed to it from another control is greater than 0.5.
Color	The color of the control is specified by a CSS color string value passed to it from another control. For example, if the value #FF0000 is passed to the control, it will be colored red.
String	The control is switched on when the string value passed to it from another control matches the specified value. For example, if a button is wired to the control in a master/slave configuration, it will pass the value true when it is clicked. Therefore, if you specify true in the String box, the control will be activated when the master button is clicked.

Linked to
Page	The page to open when the control is activated. If the control is placed inside a block, all the pages in the block are listed. If the control is placed on a page in the main NWare window, all the top-level pages are listed. Note: Hidden pages are also listed, but these pages cannot be opened by activating the control.
Activate	When selected, allows a page to be chosen from the list.
Force visible	Forces a block containing a page to be opened before the page is displayed. This option would be used in the following example scenario: A control is added to a page inside a block and configured to open one of the other pages in the block. The control is duplicated and the copy is placed on a page outside the block. The user wants to click the copy of the control and view the linked page.
