The Edit dialog appears with the proxy point listed (Figure 53).

The Edit dialog for a proxy point shows mostly properties under its proxy extension, plus (typically) the parent point’s Name and Facets. Many of the proxy extension values are required for communications, and will vary among drivers. To access all properties of the proxy point, including all those under any of its extensions, go to its property sheet.When a single point is selected in the Edit dialog, you can edit any property except Type (fixed when you added the point). Included is the ability to edit the Name of the proxy point in the station. This is equivalent to the right-click Rename command on the point.

The following related topics also apply:

The Edit button in the Point Manager allows you to edit one or more proxy points in the station in a single dialog. Before clicking Edit, use standard Windows keyboard controls to highlight (select) multiple points (e.g. hold down Ctrl key and click desired points).

Edit is also on the Point Manager toolbar and the Manager menu, if any point is selected.

The “gang” edit feature is useful for making the same change in multiple (selected) proxy points. For example, as shown in Figure 54, you can change “Tuning” (point’s associated tuning policy) in multiple points at the same time (versus editing this individually).

When you have the Edit dialog open with multiple points, you can also click on a specific one to make individual edits (e.g. Name, or any other editable property), during the same dialog session where you made “gang” property edits. When you click OK, all the changes are applied to the proxy points as made during your Edit session. For more details, see “About gang edits.”

When you have multiple points selected in the Edit dialog, properties that must be unique (such as Name) are automatically unavailable (dimmed). However, note that some properties that typically should be unique (often address properties) may still be available for “gang edit,” as this rule is not automatically enforced. Typically, when editing these properties, you should verify only a single point component (row) is highlighted in the table.
