Searching for an Object to Edit Properties

Example

This Stateflow diagram is used to show how to search for an object and edit its properties.


   1.
Select Find... from the Tools menu of the Stateflow graphics editor window to invoke the Finder.
   2.
Click in the Look for: text field and enter E.
   3.
Choose Name from the Look In field pull-down menu.
   4.
Click on and enable the Normal/Wildcard radio box.
   5.
Ensure that the Events object type is checked. Event and data objects must already be defined using either the Explorer or the graphics editor Add menu. A checkmark indicates that the object is included in the search criteria. By default, all object types are included in the search criteria. Deselect all other objects.
   6.
Click on the Search button. These are the results of the search.


There are three matches. The Search History shows that the current search criterion is Events with name 'E'. The display shows the matches.
   7.
Double-click on event E_one to display the Event properties dialog box.


   8.
Add a description. Click on the Close button to save the changes and close the Event properties dialog box. An event's parent can be changed only through the Explorer.
