This control is basically a switching mechanism with a knob-like interface, only it's much more than just that. It is a knob-like component that allows users to select a discrete option from a list of options. It can be used to replace standard option (radio) buttons. Use it to save real estate on your forms and give the end user an intuitive interface for choosing amongst several different input settings.

Very popular in factory automation applications for switching between unique settings for driving equipment, setting inputs and outputs, choosing conveyor belt speeds, etc.. However, the usefulness of this component is certainly not limited to just the factory floor. It has been used by applications to choose printers and fonts, data acquisition rates, and more mundane applications such as replacing radio buttons on Visual Basic forms.

The Selector Knob provides optional mouse input and is data aware for fast, efficient database connectivity. Used in conjunction with the Global Majic Knob component, it can handle any knob-related software development you will ever need to do.

Includes autoconfiguration algorithms built into the component to help minimize setup times.
