Example 2: Setting up navigation using mouse and touch screen
operation

The graphic display in this example contains buttons that an operator can click using a
mouse, or press on a touch screen, to open detail displays. This display acts as a menu and
presents information.

To create the buttons, the designer used the Button drawing tool in the Graphics editor.
The buttons can be selected with a mouse or by pressing a touch screen. For information
about creating buttons, see “Creating the different types of push buttons” on page 17-11.

Choosing display types with navigation in mind

When designing an application, the display types you choose give you additional control
over how an operator can navigate from one display to another.

For example, use the On Top option to keep a display on top at all times, even when
another display has focus.
