Assign connections to an object

The Connections tab of the Property Panel shows all the object’s connections that can have a tag or expression.

If more than one object is selected on the display, nothing shows on the Connections tab.

If a third-party ActiveX control is selected, the Connections tab shows all the ActiveX control's properties that can have a tag or expression assigned.

Tip:

To get help for the selected control in the Property Panel, click the ? button.

To assign connections to an object

  1. On the Connections tab, click a connection's row to select it.
  2. In the Tag/Expression column, specify a tag name, or specify an expression if the connection accepts expressions and you want to assign one.

    • To select a tag from the tag database, click the Browser button (...) in the Tags column.
    • To open the Expression editor, click the Browser button (...) in the Exprn column.
  3. Press Enter or click another cell in the grid to save the tag or expression assignment.
