Adding Interactors to an Existing Control Panel #!N #!EC #!N #!N 
To add an interactor to an existing Control Panel: #!N #!I0 
#!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   #!N #!N #!I30 #!N 1. Open the Control Panel. 
#!N #!I30 #!N 2. Select the interactor stand-in on the VPE 
canvas. #!N #!I30 #!N 3. In the Control Panel window, click 
on the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Add Selected Interactor(s) #!EF option of the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
Edit #!EF menu. #!N #!I30 #!N 4. Move the cursor to 
where you want to position the tool in the Control Panel. 
Note that the style of the cursor changes when you move 
it onto the panel. This is similar to how tool icons 
are placed on the VPE canvas. Exact placement of the interactor 
depends on the grid settings (see  #!Lccpgrid,dxall392 h Changing the Alignment of Interactors in the Control Panel  #!EL  ). #!N #!I30 #!N 
5. Click the mouse. The interactor appears at the specified location. 
#!N #!I0 #!N #!EF #!N #!N #!N Alternatively, you can use 
"drag and drop" to add an interactor to an existing Control 
Panel: #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   #!N #!N #!I30 #!N 1. Select 
the interactor stand-in on the VPE canvas. #!N #!I30 #!N 2. 
Press the middle mouse button while the cursor is positioned on 
the stand-in icon. #!N #!I30 #!N 3. Drag the cursor to 
the Control Panel and release the mouse button. #!N #!I30 #!N 
4. The interactor appears at the new location. #!N #!I0 #!N 
#!EF #!N #!N #!N You can add more than one interactor 
at a time to a Control Panel. To do this, select 
multiple interactor stand-ins on the VPE canvas, then select  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Add 
Selected Interactor(s) #!EF in the desired Control Panel. After doing this, 
you can use the mouse to place the interactors in the 
Control Panel one at a time. They are placed in the 
Control Panel in the same order that they were placed initially 
onto the VPE canvas. Similarly, you can drag and drop multiple 
stand-ins from the visual program to a Control Panel. You can 
also drag and drop interactors from one Control Panel to another, 
as long as both are associated with the same Data Explorer 
session. For more information on drag and drop, see  #!Lmacts,dxall342 h Moving and Copying Tools  #!EL  . 
#!N #!N You can put the same interactor in more than 
one Control Panel and in the same Control Panel more than 
once. For example, you may want to have one Control Panel 
that contains  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   all #!EF the interactors for a visual program, 
and another that contains only the most frequently used interactors. You 
can also place multiple instances of an interactor, with different styles 
or step size increments, in one Control Panel. This provides both 
coarse and fine control over a parameter value. The user interface 
ensures that each instance of the interactor is consistent. If you 
change a value in one instance, it changes in the others.
