TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Program 83 Working With Pages and Popup Pages 84 TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Program Working With Buttons Working With Buttons TPDesign4 supports the following button types: General: "General" buttons are basic dual-state buttons that can be used for most touch panel functions, and are not associated with a specific functionality (as opposed to Bargraph and Joystick buttons, which have specific functionalities). Multi-State General: "Multi-State General" buttons are basic multi-state buttons that can be used for most touch panel functions, and that support up to 256 states. Bargraph: "Bargraph" buttons are level monitors and adjustable level controls that can be configured to monitor or adjust audio outputs and lighting levels. Multi-State Bargraph: "Multi-State Bargraph" buttons are level monitors and adjustable level controls that can be configured to monitor or adjust audio outputs and lighting levels, and that (like Multi-State General buttons) support up to 256 states. Multi-state bargraph buttons also allow you to create a custom bargraph slider (using an image icon). Joystick: "Joystick" buttons are vertical and horizontal direction controllers that can be used for pan and tilt control (typically for camera operation). Because Joystick buttons don't work in the same way as the other button types (in that they don't generate pushes/ releases), there is no On state associated with them. Joystick buttons only use the Off state, as is reflected in the State tab of the Properties Control window. Text Area: "Text Area" buttons are intended only to display text on the panel (noninteractive). Computer Control: "Computer Control" buttons provide a remote desktop to an attached PC running a VNC server, allowing you to control the PC via the Touch Panel interface (for remote control purposes). Computer Control buttons are constrained to one of three predefined and hard-coded sizes (640x480, 800x600 or 1024x768). These buttons support password protection separate from any additional username/password credentials that the user may require to access the remote system once the connection has been made. External Controls: TPDesign v2. 2 (or higher) supports editing the properties for programmable external controls (external pushbuttons and LEDs) for NXD-CV7, MVP7500, and MVP-8400 panels. You can edit external control properties on both a panelwide basis and on a page specific button-by-button basis. Global, panel-wide settings for external controls can be accessed and edited through the External Controls entry in the Pages tab of the Workspace Navigator Window. Double-click this entry to access a Design View Window representing the size and placement of the external buttons and LEDs, which may be selected like any other button for editing. Page specific external controls settings are accessed via each page's Design View (with the Page > Show External Controls option enabled).
