About value bindings

You can use value bindings to support real-time graphics, mouse-over effects, and right-click actions.

Value bindings are used to bind to values that are typically under a component. Widget properties may be overridden by creating dynamic slots of the same name with a converter that maps the bound target object into a property value. This capability is what allows animation of any widget property. Value bindings support features such as real-time graphics, mouse-over, and right-click actions.

The properties pane for the bound label binding is shown in About value bindings.
