1. On the "Creation" pane, in the "Graphic controls" group, click "Rating".
2. Click where the control will be created in the window or page. The control appears in the editor.

• The maximum possible mark: is used to define the number of pictogram repetitions in the Rating control. This option is available in "Same image for each mark" mode only.
• The number of marks in the image: indicates the number of pictograms found in the image. This option is available only if the layout of the image set uses the "Different image for each mark" mode.
• The initial mark, which means the mark used when the control is displayed.
• The granularity of marks. This option corresponds to the mode for selecting the marks. The rating can evolve:
  • by integer value: the mark will evolve by 1 at a time
  • by half-value: the mark will evolve by 0,5 at a time.
  • by real value: the mark will evolve according to the value typed by the user.
• The image of marks: Image used to view the marks. If this parameter is not specified, the image of a star is used by default. The button is used to select:
• an image accessible from your computer ("Browse" option).
• an image in the image catalog ("Catalog" option). In this case, the selected image is automatically adapted to the specified options.
• Dividing the image set: used to define the mode for dividing the control image set:
  • Same image for each mark: The image must contain a single pictogram (represented by several states). The repetition of the pictogram will be used to represent the different possible values in the control.
  • Different image for each mark: The image must contain several pictograms (each one being represented by several states). Each pictogram will be used to represent the different possible values in the control. In this mode, the maximum mark corresponds to the number of pictograms contained in the image.
• Graphically differentiate marks below the current mark:
  • When this mode is disabled, the marks below the current mark are displayed like the current mark.
  • When this mode is enabled, the marks below the current mark are drawn by using the state 0 of the image set (the marks below the current mark will be invisible if the image contains a single state).
