Ellipse control (Ellipse)

Ellipse control is a control for drawing circles and ellipses.

Rotate

Ellipse control can be rotated by binding. The rotation angle is set with Angle. Set the center of rotation with the RotateX/RotateY properties, or move the center handle below with the mouse.

Rotation using the Angle property occurs at runtime, not while editing in Panel Editor.

Use as a switch

2D shape controls have a SwitchValue property that switches between ON/OFF when pressed with the mouse.

1) When the value changes, the OnSwitchChanged event occurs.

2) You can bind a tag to SwitchValue to set the tag's value to ON (TRUE) or /OFF (FALSE).

3) The SwitchType property determines how the SwitchValue changes when the mouse is pressed. The SwitchType property can be selected from the following five types.

SwitchType setting	Switch Type	explanation
A_SWITCH	A-contact switch	While pressed, SwitchValue will be turned ON.
B_SWITCH	B-contact switch	While pressed, turns SwitchValue OFF.
ON_SWITCH	ON switch	When pressed, it turns SwitchValue ON.
OFF_SWITCH	OFF Switch	When pressed, it turns SwitchValue OFF.
ALTERNATE_SWITCH	Alternate Switch	When pressed, it inverts SwitchValue (when OFF it turns it ON, and when ON it turns it OFF).
