Property | Description |
---|---|
Name | The component name. |
Rating Value | The numeric rating. Decimals are allowed, and fractional parts from 0.29 to 0.71 show a half-star (e.g., entering 4.29 shows 4½ stars). Can be bound to dynamic data. |
Icon Size | The size of each star, from 5 to 50 pixels. |
Show Empty | Check this box to show empty stars if Rating Value is less than Max Value. |
Fill Empty | Check this box to fill empty stars with a translucent shade of the primary color if Show Empty is enabled. If this box is unchecked, empty stars show only as outlines. |
Primary Color | The fill color used for stars (if Gradient Type is set to none) or the first color used for the gradient fill. |
Secondary Color | The second color used for the gradient fill. (Not used if Gradient Type is set to none.) |
Gradient Type | The gradient fill type. Select linear, radial, or none (the default). |
Max Value | The highest rating shown by this component, even if Rating Value is set higher. The default is 5. |
Min Value | The lowest rating shown by this component. If Rating Value is set lower, such as by dynamic data, the component displays nothing. (You can use the Rating value less than minimum event to detect when this happens.) The default Min Value is 3. |
