Block Object Properties
The Block Object Properties Dialog Box includes all of the items found in the Graphic Object Properties Dialog Box section of this help file. In addition, it has the following tabs available:
The Block Tab
Action to open child window in control mode
This specifies what user action is required to open the Block Object's Child Window in Control Mode. The following options are available by selecting the appropriate radio button:
|
Single Click |
The Child Window opens with a single mouse click |
|
Double Click |
The Child Window opens with a mouse double-click |
|
Locked |
The Child Window cannot be opened in Control Mode (all Block Objects may be opened in Edit Mode however) |
Password required to open window
When this checkbox is checked, the Child Window becomes password protected. This child window can now only be opened using a password. This allows you to protect any child window from any unauthorized persons regardless of their user level. If you are logged on when you password protect a child window, the child window will use the password used when you logged on. This allows you to access all child windows created in this manner without having to type in a password every time you want to open one, providing that you have logged on using the same log-on password that you used when you created the child window. If the default user level is designer and nobody has logged on prior to creating the child window, you will be prompted to assign the child window a password. This allows you to assign a unique password to a specific device if this is desired. The Single-Click, Double-Click, and Locked options are mutually exclusive, but the Password property is not.
Opening child window will close other windows with this property
Exclusive - Only one child window may be open at a time.
RAMM - Enable view export for the follwing users
If checked, a list of user names, separated by semicolons ( ; ) can be entered. When a RAMM client connects, if a block contains the name of the user that logged on, that RAMM client only has access to the block, and all blocks contained within. If no block contains the user name, the client has access to the entire view file.

This specifies the number of nodes that appear on a block.
Audio Inputs
Audio input nodes appear on the left side of a Block Object.
Audio Outputs
Audio output nodes appear on the right side of a Block Object.
Control Inputs
Control input nodes for certain types of devices appear on the top of a block, and can receive control wiring, but not audio signals.
Control Outputs
Control output nodes appear on certain types of devices, at the bottom of a Block Object, and can receive control wiring, but not audio signals.
