Moving and Selecting ActiveX Control Blocks

The way you move and select blocks in the Gauges Blockset library differs from how you move and select a block in the Simulink library. Blocks in the Gauges Blockset library consist of an "active" area containing the actual Microsoft ActiveX control, and a border surrounding the active area. The border gives you a way to manipulate the block without affecting the control.

The table below describes how to manipulate a Gauges Blockset block.

Task	Mouse Action
Add block to model	From the Simulink Library Browser, drag the block by its icon in the right pane.
	From the library window (displaying blocks as icons), drag the block by its border.
Move block	Drag the block's border. You can do this only if the border is visible.
Select block	Click the block's border. Or "rubber-band select" the block.
Resize block	Select the block, and then drag one of the selection handles (as you would resize a Simulink block).
