1. In design mode, create a new Canvas screen.
2. Find the CygNet grid on the Toolbox pane and drag a desired object to your screen.

3. Use the Settings pane to apply common settings (sizing, grouping, alignment, etc.) to this object (and others) on your screen.

4. Optionally, use the Name property to rename the object if you plan to reference it in another screen or control, or plan to script this control.
5. Configure the Style property.

1. Style —

   The Style property defines the style sheet applied to an object on a screen. A style sheet consists of a predetermined list of properties and property values configured for a particular control type.

   • Click to reveal a drop-down menu of predetermined styles configured for the selected control.
   • Select a desired style and its properties will be applied to the control.
   • Alternately, you can create a new style based on other property values configured for the control.
   • Or you can select <None> to remove subscription to any style.

   Styles are created in two ways:

   • In the control's Properties pane. Click (Add a new style based on this control) next to the Style property, after you have configured property values in the Properties pane. See Add a new style based on a control for more information.
   • In the Canvas Settings in the Backstage view. The default style for any control is configured in the Backstage view. See Manage style sheets in the Backstage view for more information.

   Tip: You can also change a control's Style on the Controls view of the Screen pane.

6. Configure the Location properties. See To configure location, size, resizing, layer, and visibility properties below.
7. Configure the Script property.

1. Include in script —

   The Include in script check box indicates that the control will appear in the objects collection of the screen (if scripting is enabled). To optimize performance, best practice dictates that you only include the controls you need to manipulate via script. Other controls should be excluded. When you add an event to a control, it will be automatically added to script and the Include in script property (and the In Script check box on the Controls view) will be set to True.

   Tip: You can also change the Include in Script setting on the Controls view of the Screen pane.

8. Configure the Grid properties to configure specific grid options (columns, facility sender mode, rows, selection mode and unit).

1. Column configuration — The Grid Column Configuration dialog box contains all the properties required to configure each column in your grid. There are four types of columns that can be configured in a CygNet grid: a Facility column, a Generic column, a History column, and a Point column. The number of defined columns is listed on the property label once defined.

1. Click to open Grid Column Configuration dialog box.
2. Click Add Column to add a new, blank facility, generic, history, or point column to your grid:

1. Facility column — A facility column presents data for a point by a facility attribute. You can choose to resolve the facility to a relative facility if desired. The property sheet displays Common, Facility, and Color properties. Configure the facility column definition properties as described below.
2. Generic column — A generic column can display any kind of scripted data of your choosing using C# or VB.NET at run-time. First configure the column in Canvas and then reference the column by name to pull in CygNet or other values. A generic column can be used to discover data defined in a supporting script. If the column is defined, but no data is defined, then the column is hidden by default. The cells in a generic column can be configured to be editable in run mode, so that, for example, users could make quick data changes to facilities in a grid format. Changed values are not saved anywhere but in the grid, but they can be saved or otherwise manipulated via script. Note that when a generic column is set to editable the Color properties are not configurable. The property sheet displays only Common and Color properties. Configure the generic column properties as described below.
3. History column — A history column is used to add a sparkline chart in each cell for a specified UDC. You can choose to resolve the point to a relative facility, or use absolute or relative dates, if desired. The property sheet displays Common and History properties. Configure the history column definition properties as described below.
4. Point column — A point column presents data for a point by UDC and point attribute. You can choose to resolve the point to a relative facility if desired. The property sheet displays Common, Point, and Color properties. Configure the point column definition properties as described below.

2. Reorder your columns by selecting, then dragging and dropping the column name to a new location.
3. Click (Remove column) to delete any column from the grid.
4. Click OK to close the Grid Column Configuration dialog box.

2. Facility sender mode — Configure the Facility sender mode property to determine the mode for sending a facility to other controls:

   The Facility sender mode property determines which mouse-click actions will send facilities to other controls. Options include:

   • None — No facilities are sent.
   • Single click — A single click will send facilities to another control.
   • Double click — A double click will send facilities to another control.
   • All facilities — All facilities in the grid will be sent to another control.

   The default value is None.

   Sending and receiving facility tags

   Some controls on the same screen allow for the sending of facility tag information from one control to another.

   1. On the sending control configure the Facility sender mode property to send facility tag information to another control on the same screen.
   2. On the receiving control configure the Selection mode property (in either CygNet connection or Point configuration section) to Facility tag and select the Facility Source to the sending control.
   3. On the receiving control configure a display tag that associates to a facility property, e.g. %FacilityTag%.

3. Row configuration — The Row configuration property is where you specify the source of the facility (and maybe the SiteService) for the row of the CygNet grid to use. The source for the facility can be explicitly configured for this row or it can be inherited from the screen or another control. If Row configuration is set to <Self> then you also need to provide a SiteService. This could be manually configured or inherited. See To configure row configuration below.

4. Selection mode —

   The grid controls offer three selection modes, which determine how many grid units may be selected in run mode. The grid units are determined by the Selection unit property. Options include:

   • Single — Only one item can be selected at a time.
   • Multiple — Items are added to the selection when they get clicked and get removed when they get clicked again.
   • Extended — Items are added to the selection only by combining mouse clicks with the Ctrl key or Shift key.

   The default value is Single.

   In script, use SelectionMode with the SelectAll method and SelectedRows property (read-only) to aid in multi-row selection:

   • SelectAll method — If the SelectionMode property is Multiple or Extended, SelectAll will select all rows in a grid and SelectedRows will return the matching DataRow objects. SelectAll will not obviously change the selection if SelectionMode is Single.
   • SelectedRows property (read-only) — SelectedRows will be restricted to a single row if SelectionMode is Single. Otherwise SelectedRows can contain multiple rows to be retrieved via script.

5. Selection unit —

   The CygNet grid control offers three selection units. The Selection unit property determines the grid units that may be selected in run mode. Options included:

   • Cell — Only the clicked cell is selected. Depending on the value of the Selection mode property you can have more than one selected cell
   • Full row — Clicking within any cell will select the entire row.
   • Mixed — Select any cell and you can also select a full row if you click on a row, but not on a cell from it.

   The default value is Full row.

9. Configure the Generic properties:

1. String — The String property specifies a generic string property that can be used when scripting this control. Type a string and reference it in your script as necessary.
2. Yes/No — The Yes/No property specifies a generic Boolean yes/no property that can be used when scripting this control. Click the check box to enable the property and reference it in your script as necessary.

2. Horizontal resize mode —

   The Horizontal resize mode property specifies whether and how the control dynamically moves or resizes horizontally when the screen is resized in run mode. Options include:

   • None — No resizing occurs.
   • Shift — The object will shift horizontally.
   • Expand — The object will expand or shrink horizontally the same number of pixels as the screen.
   • Proportional — The object expands or shrinks proportionally to the screen.

   The default value is None.

3. Layer —

   The Layer property specifies the layer for this control. Layers are used to show, hide, and edit multiple controls on one layer without affecting controls on another layer.

   • Type the name of the layer into the Layer field.
   • All layers are listed on the Layers pane, where you can show and hide layers for the screen in design mode and run mode.

   Tip: You can also edit a control's Layer on the Controls view of the Screen pane.

    

   Note: Layer visibility can be controlled at runtime via the AddLayer, HideLayer, and ShowLayer methods on the Screen object.

4. Vertical resize mode —

   The Vertical resize mode property specifies whether and how the control dynamically moves or resizes vertically when the screen is resized in run mode. Options include:

   • None — No resizing occurs.
   • Shift — The object will shift vertically.
   • Expand — The object will expand or shrink vertically the same number of pixels as the screen.
   • Proportional — The object expands or shrinks proportionally to the screen.

   The default value is None.

5. Visible — The Visible check box indicates whether the control is visible in run mode.Tip: You can also change a control's Visible setting on the Controls view of the Screen pane.

   The Width property specifies the width of the control (or screen).

   Tip: You can also change the width of a control using the Settings pane (click on the (Settings) to the right of the control in design mode) or on the Controls view of the Screen pane.

7. X —

   The X property specifies the location of the control along the horizontal axis. Use the up, down, left, and right arrow keys to nudge a control by 1 pixel. Arrow moves a control by 1 pixel. Ctrl+Arrow moves a control by 10 pixels. Ctrl+Shift+Arrow moves a control by 100 pixels.

   Tip: You can also change the location of the control using the Settings pane; click on the (Settings) to the right of the control in design mode.

8. Y —

   The Y property specifies the location of the control along the vertical axis. Use the up, down, left, and right arrow keys to nudge a control by 1 pixel. Arrow moves a control by 1 pixel. Ctrl+Arrow moves a control by 10 pixels. Ctrl+Shift+Arrow moves a control by 100 pixels.

   Tip: You can also change the location of the control using the Settings pane; click on the (Settings) to the right of the control in design mode.

9. Z index —

   The Z index property is used to determine the order in which controls are layered on top of each other. Controls with higher values will draw on top of those with lower values. The newest control added to a screen will always have the highest value and will be the top layer. Two or more controls can be on the same index (layer).

   Tip: You can also change the Z index of a control using the Settings pane (click on the (Settings) to the right of the control in design mode) or on the Controls view of the Screen pane.

If Row configuration is set to <Self> then you also need to provide a SiteService. This could be manually configured or inherited.

1. Find the Grid properties and configure the desired source of the facility (and possibly SiteService) for your grid.
2. Click to reveal the Facility source selector.

• Source — Options include <Self>, Screen (default), or a list of Sender controls.
  • <Self> — Select <Self> to explicitly configure the facility for this control, which can be further filtered.
  • Screen — Select Screen to inherit the facility from the screen for this control. By default, the sender is the Screen control if no other senders have been configured. Once Screen is selected Inherited from Screen will display for the Facility property.
  • Sender — A list of sender controls that have been configured with a facility will be displayed. Select the name of the control that will send its facility to this control. By default, the sender is the Screen control if no other senders have been configured. Once a sender control has been specified its name will display in the Source field.
• Filter — Only visible if the Source is <Self>.

  Use the Facility filter property to limit the data presented in the control to any CygNet filter attribute set up for your CygNet installation. Click to open the Facility Filter dialog box where you can create a custom filter rule. The filter rule is displayed in the property label; you do need to open the Facility Filter dialog box to edit the rule.

3. If the facility source is <Self> the SiteService option is available for configuration.
• Source — Options include <Self> or Screen.
  • <Self> — Select <Self> to explicitly configure the SiteService for this control. A SiteService selector is displayed:
    • SiteService — The SiteService property specifies the SiteService for which the control (or screen) is to display data. Click to select a service using the Select Service dialog box.
  • Screen — Select Screen to inherit the SiteService from the screen for this control. By default, the sender is the Screen control if no other senders have been configured.
