Type
The type of a button defines the button operational mode and can be; Toggle, Radio, or
Momentary. The Toggle type button will toggle on and off with subsequent pushes. The
Radio button usually belongs to a group of buttons, and when it is pressed, all other
buttons of the same group are released. The Momentary button is only active when it is
pressed, and releases automatically after the touch is removed.
Radio Group
The Radio Group defines the group number associated with a Radio type button and
identifies which buttons belong to the same mutually exclusive group. All other type
buttons default to a 0 group number.
Scheme
The scheme of the button defines the buttons appearance such as normal and selected
coloring along with font information. Schemes are defined through the Resources/Color
Schemes menu option of the main window. The particular defined scheme is then
selected for this button through this window. Schemes create files that are kept in the
project directory and end in .sch. These files can be copied to other project directories to
be used.
Bitmap
The Bitmap selection is used to select a bitmap for the face of a button. This bitmap will
not change when the button is selected or deselected so it is suggested that the scheme
edge colors be significantly different between selected and normal so that a pressed
condition is easily identifiable. Bitmaps are added to the system through the
Resources/Bitmaps menu option of the main window, see Adding Bitmaps. The
particular defined bitmap is then selected for this button through this window item. The
source bitmaps should be defined as 95 x 60 24bit bmp files prior to import. If it is
desired not to have the button label overlay the bitmap during operation, clear all text in
the button label entry field.
Control Group
The Control Group defines a set of mutually exclusive buttons as a collection of controls
to be reset by a single command. This is independent of the Radio Group number, and
defines a “block” of buttons which may span several pages. It is possible to overlap
Control Groups and Radio Groups.
Repeat
The Repeat checkbox inserts the commands for repeating a sequence of commands in
the Press Command Script. Checking this box generates another dialog allowing the
entry of the time interval in 10ms increments between repetitions. The commands
following the Repeat instruction are repeated at the rate defined.
