Adding a Recipe Grid Control

The GraphWorX64 Recipe Grid control provides the ability to configure recipe data and view in Runtime mode.

Security Authorization in GraphWorX64 defines what a user or group of users have permission to access. This layer of security is on top of the ICONICS standard security login. Running reports, recipe management, configuration and Runtime modes require single or double authorization. See Password Authorization in GraphWorX64.

  1. Open GraphWorX64.
  2. Select the Controls tab.

  3. Click the Recipe Grid icon. 

  4. Draw a rectangle on the display canvas to display a grid.

  1. Double click on the grid to open the Configure your Control dialog on the Recipe Grid Control Configuration.

  2. Set your desired properties for the Appearance and Advanced tags at both the Recipe Grid Control and Tab levels.
  3. Click Grid to configure the recipe grid properties.
