Use the Property-to-Property Connection - Properties window to change the source or target of a connection.

Fields

Push buttons

To update the source and target properties or event of the connection and close the window, select OK.

To back out of the window without making changes, select Cancel.

To reset the source and target connections to the original configuration, select Reset.

To switch the source and target properties of the connection, select Reverse.

To delete the connection, select Delete.

Source Property

The Source Property field shows the current source for the connection. To update the connection, select a new source property from the list and then select OK.

If you cannot find the property you want, check the Show expert features check box. If the property is designated as expert, it appears in the list.

Target Property

The Target Property field shows the current target for the connection. To update the connection, select a new target property from the list. Then select OK.

If you cannot find the property you want, check the Show expert features check box. If the property is designated as expert, it appears in the list.

Source Event

The Source Event field lists the event associated with the source of a connection. To update the connection, select a new source event from the list and then select OK.

Setting this field enables you to control whether the data synchronization is unidirectional, bidirectional, or only performed at initialization. This field also enables you to use an unbound property as the source of a connection. When the event is triggered, the target is aligned with the source value. If you do not set this value and the property is not bound, VisualAge allows you to make the connection, but the target property value is not updated when the source property value changes.

Target Event

The Target Event field lists the event associated with the target of a connection. To update the connection, select a new target event from the list. Then select OK.

Setting this field enables you to control whether the data synchronization is unidirectional, bidirectional, or only performed at initialization. This field also enables you to use an unbound property as the target of property-to-property connections. When the event is triggered, the source is aligned with the target value.
