Using Quick Input; Undo/Redo Support - AMX TPDESIGN4 V2.5 Instruction Manual

For example, if you have selected an item in the Properties Control window (let's say you've
selected "Channel Port", and you perform a "Copy", then you will have copied only the Channel
Port entry in the Properties Control window, and not the associated button (even though it is
selected in the Design View window). You can then paste the Channel Port number anywhere else
in the Properties Control window (where the copied data is considered to be a valid entry).
If for example you had copied the value "410" from the Left (position) field in the Properties
Control window, you are not allowed to paste it to the Address Port field, sine it is not a valid
Address Port number (these errors are indicated by a TPDesign4 error dialog.

Using Quick Input

Select Quick Input from the Edit menu or Design View context menu to access the Quick Input
sub-menu.
The Quick Input setting determines how typing directly into a Design View or into the State
Manager will be handled:
The Text setting is the replacement for the Quick Text Tool found in TPDesign3

Undo/Redo Support

TPDesign4 supports full Undo / Redo functionality at the panel level. This means that each panel
file that is open in the program maintains a separate undo/redo stack and manages this for the user.
You may either click the Undo or Redo toolbar icons, or click Edit > Undo or Edit > Redo.
Click the down-arrows to view a history list that lists up to 25 of the most recent actions. Click to
select one or more actions to be undone/redone.
The commands alter their text dynamically to indicate which action is next in the undo/redo list.
Selecting either option will immediately undo/redo the last action. These actions are independent of
any file saves, therefore you may undo past a save if you so desire. Once a panel file is closed, it's
undo/redo stack is flushed and is no longer available. The following actions may be undone/redone:
TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Program
Current Property - This setting redirects keyboard input to the currently selected
property on the currently visible tab of the Properties Control (assuming one is selected).
For example, if you select the Name property (in the General tab of the Properties control
window), any time you select a button in the Design View, you can just type and press the
Enter key to enter a new button name for the selected button.
The result of the keystroke will depend on the property selected.
Text - This setting redirects keyboard input to the button Text property for all selected
button states (in the States tab of the Properties Control window). For example, if you
select several states on a Multi-State button (in the State Manager window), you can type
and press the Enter key to enter new button text for the selected states. If no states are
selected, text is will be applied to all states of the button selected in the Design View.
Disabled - Disables the Quick Input option.
