To enable the feature of activating multiple overlapped buttons by one touch, open the Panel General Setup dialog box and

following are the constraints of applying this feature.
1. The types of buttons that support this feature include: Bit Button, Toggle Switch, Screen Button, Function Button, Word
Button, Multi-state Switch, and Keypad Button.
2. The first button, i.e. the top-most button, can only be a bit button, a toggle switch, a word button, a multi-state switch, or
a keypad button. The button can not have the optional property of Minimum Hold Time or Operator Confirmation. If the
button is a bit button, a toggle switch, or a keypad button, it can not have any macro. If the button is a word button, it
can not be configured for Enter Value or Enter Password. If the button is a multi-state switch, it can not be configured
as a List or Drop-down List.
