Creating Buttons and

Importing Graphics

This chapter shows you how to add two Goto Screen buttons to the
Initial Screen. It includes these topics:

creating the buttons

resizing, moving, and configuring the appearance of the buttons

This chapter also provides instructions for adding a graphic image to
the screen.

When the application is running on the PanelView terminal, the
operator uses Goto Screen buttons to change to other application
screens. The operator can call up only the Setup and View screens
from the Initial Screen. However, the application has two more
screens: the Report and Alarm History screens. You want the
operator to be able to call up all four screens.

To enable the operator to do this, you will add two Goto Screen
buttons.

Note: This and all following screen illustrations are of keypad
application screens. Touch screen application screens don’t show
function key designations and the buttons are positioned further
apart.
