Simple Able Agent Properties and Use

Properties

The Simple Able Agent panel provides options to change this property:

Color
Select the color to be passed to the bean when OK is pressed. This field also displays the current bean value which changes when the agent's timer interval expires. Press Reset to perform the reset method on the agent which sets the color to the default value.

Use

The Simple Able Agent panel is used as an example to illustrate timer event processing. When an agent is created, timer event processing is enabled and started. The panel displays the current color property.

Steps in using the panel include:

  1. Select the combobox for color.
  2. Watch as the current color changes, cycling through the list as frequently as the timer interval specified on the General tab.
  3. Press the Halt icon on the toolbar to stop processing.
