Conditional Values

Top Previous Topic Next Topic  Print this topic

Overview: XF Designer offers the ability to change a value assigned to any property according to one or more rules.

 

Accessing: To display this dialog, the "Show Properties" button from the Properties group under the View tab must be selected. The Properties pane will appear, from where the property's value can be modified.

 

The field that will be modified must be selected and then the browse button located at the right side of the property.

The Conditional Values option must be selected and then the Edit Conditions button.

The second condition displayed in the conditions list (labeled "<default value>") is always the fallback condition, that is, if no other conditions can be satisfied, the value specified here will be applied.

 

The Add button can be used for adding more conditions and the Remove button to remove them. The fallback condition can not be removed.

For each condition, including the fallback, a value that can be either static (for example "red" or "rgb(255,0,0)") or dynamic (that is, a value provided in the input XML) can be specified.

 

Note:

To change an existing property, first the element to which it will be applied must be selected by clicking on it from the Navigation Bar. Then the Conditional Values for that property can be modified by accessing the dialog through the same method that was used to add the conditions and values.
