# Trend objects: trend object

For XML purposes, the trend object is considered to be an ActiveX control.

The only editable attributes are those that correspond to the properties on the Common and Connections tabs of the Trend object's Properties dialog box, the Wallpaper option, and the object's visibility animation. All other aspects of the trend's appearance and behavior are contained in the data element's binary information. Do not attempt to edit these attributes in the exported file.
