Widget properties

These properties are common to one or more of the videoDriver Px widgets.

Figure 14. Example of widget properties

Property	Value	Description
Visible	`true` (default) or `false`	Hides the widget by selecting the `false` option and shows it again by selecting the `true` option.
Enabled	`true` or `false`	Turns the widget on and off.
Layout	Uses a three column table. The columns are Value and Units. The rows define X, Y, Width and Height. four options: X, Y, Width Height, each have a `Value` and `Units` property	Defines the width and height of the widget NOTE: Widgets that use absolute layout should be placed on a Canvas pane Each Value may be a logical coordinate within the parent object coordinate space or it may be a percent of the parent size. Additionally, width and height may use the keyword “pref” to indicate use of preferred width or height. For example, “10,5,100,20” “0,0,30%,100%”, and “10%,10%,pref,pref”. Lastly the keyword “fill” may be used as a shortcut for “0,0,100%,100%”, which means fill the parent pane. Fill is the default for the layout property, which makes it easy to define layers and shapes.
Background/Background Color	color chooser	Specifies the background fill color. `Solid` opens the Color Chooser window. `Gradient` opens the Gradient Editor window. `Image` opens the Image Brush Editor window. Click the Browse icon () to open the File Chooser, Ord Chooser, or other method of selecting an image file. `Null` indicates no color (white).
Border/Ptz Border	multiple properties	Configure the look of the border. Refer to Border.
Stream Facets	chevron to the right used to open the Config Facets window	Provides metadata directly to the driver. Although these data are not necessarily required for all drivers, some driver developers might decide that they need more input from the user to provide the camera video feed. If required, then the particular video driver must document the requirements for this property.
Keep Down Interval	hours minutes seconds (defaults to one second)	Engages the corresponding slot on this periodic basis when a user clicks (holds down) the mouse button. For example, if set to one (1) second, and the user clicks a dim action, the screen dims for 1 second as long as the user holds the button for at least one second. If the user holds the button for more than 1 second, the screen still dims for one second.
binding, zoomBinding, cameraBinding, panTiltBinding, panTiltZoomBinding	multiple properties	Refer to Binding properties.
