Properties

Poperty	Description
Name	The name of the element. This name will be displayed in the GUI Tree.
Position/Size	Position X, Position Y, Width, Height: Position and size of the element in pixels. Position X/Y defines the position of the upper left corner.
Attach	Defines how an element behaves when its parent element is resized. You can set the following parameters: Left: If the parent element is resized, the element remains attached to left edge, with the specified ratio. Right: If the parent element is resized, the element moves relatively to the right edge, with the specified ratio. Top: If the parent element is resized, the element remains attached to top edge, with the specified ratio. Bottom: If the parent element is resized, the element moves relatively to the bottom edge, with the specified ratio. Left + Right: If the parent element is resized, the element is resized horizontally relatively to the left and right edges, with the specified ratio.
Tooltip	Text that appears as a tooltip when the mouse hovers over the element.
Value	Drag and drop a parameter from the Parameter List to this text field to establish a connection. The assigned parameter will be displayed. Alternatively, you can export the property, which can then be used as a template parameter on a template instance.
Show Value	Activate this if you want to display a tooltip with the current parameter value when using the control. This option can be exported to the template level. The exported parameter can then be activated by setting it to `true` (the default is `false`).
Style	Invert: Inverts the animation. Scalable: Activate this if you want to be able to resize the element. The assigned Bitmap resources are resized according to the Scale Mode that is defined for the respective Bitmap resource.
Bitmap	Bitmap refers to: An individual bitmap file in png or bmp format defined as resource. A section, specifying a region within a larger source bitmap. A SVG file defined as resource. You can either select an existing resource or drop an image file onto the text field. In this case, the corresponding resource is created and set as reference.
SVG Parameter (Since HALion 7.0)	If you use SVGs with animatable properties, they appear in the SVG Parameter section. You can connect SVG Parameter just like value parameters with engine, MIDI, or UI script parameters. In this way, the connected parameters can animate different properties of SVG child objects, such as color, position, rotation and so on.
