Event Handlers

mouse

mouseClicked

This event signifies a mouse click on the source component. A mouse click the combination of a mouse press and a mouse release, both of which must have occurred over the source component. Note that this event fires after the pressed and released events have fired.

.source	The component that fired this event.
.button	The code for the button that caused this event to fire.
.clickCount	The number of mouse clicks associated with this event.
.x	The x-coordinate (with respect to the source component) of this mouse event.
.y	The y-coordinate (with respect to the source component) of this mouse event.
.popupTrigger	Returns True (1) if this mouse event is a popup trigger. What constitutes a popup trigger is operating system dependent, which is why this abstraction exists.
.altDown	True (1) if the Alt key was held down during this event, false (0) otherwise.

propertyChange

Fires whenever a bindable property of the source component changes. This works for standard and custom (dynamic) properties.

.source	The component that fired this event
.newValue	The new value that this property changed to.
.oldValue	The value that this property was before it changed. Note that not all components include an accurate oldValue in their events.
.propertyName	The name of the property that changed. Remember to always filter out these events for the property that you are looking for! Components often have many properties that change.

Customizers

The Multi-State Indicator component does not have a special customizer, however, it relies on the Style Customizer. When you open the Style Customizer, you'll notice that it has the State driving property selected, and several visual properties defined such as Background Color, Border, Foreground Color, and Text. If you don't like the predefined properties, you can change them, as well as add or remove any styled properties.

The Style Customizer for the Multi-State Indicator works by configuring a set of visual properties that change based on a different state. The State is represented by an integer, but the values and number of different states are customizable.

Style Customizer for the Multi-State Indicator - Property Description

Property	Description
Driving Property	Property that drives the style of the component.
Styled Properties	There are two categories of properties: Available Properties and Used Properties.
Available Properties	Styled properties that have not been used.
Used Properties	Styled properties that have been used.
Styles	Styles section for the defining states and styles.
Values	Driving property represented by an integer.
Preview	View the label after the visual styles are configured. Expand each value to configure, or change any of the styles. There is an Animate checkbox that you can check to enable the label to blink.
