Creating Frames and Buttons
Frames are primarily used for grouping buttons and other frames. When you
group frames and buttons in a parent frame it is much easier to arrange your
panels and to move groups of buttons, such as a numeric pad.
Next to grouping, frames also enhance the visual design of your panels.
Frames can be used as backgrounds as they contain a default background
color. You can insert a bitmap to change the look and shape of the frame. To
create your own frames see ‘ Using the Gallery ’ on p. 27 and ‘ Using Bitmaps ’
on p. 29.
Buttons can contain actions that are executed when you tap them. They
contain a default text and background color for each of four different states.
You can insert a bitmap to change the look and shape of the button. To
create your own buttons see ‘ Using the Gallery ’ on p. 27 and ‘ Using Bitmaps ’
on p. 29.
