Ui Element Properties - Sub-Features; Ui Element Properties - Placeholder - AMX VISUALARCHITECT 1.1 Manual

UI Element Properties - Sub-Features

When a Template element is selected in a Touch Panel UI diagram, the Properties window is populated
with Template element properties.
Sub-Features elements are popup pages that provide specific feature sets (i.e., Volume Control) that can
be applied to device UI pages.

UI Element Properties - Placeholder

Placeholder elements provide empty pages to which functionality can be added in TPDesign4 after the
panel project is generated. Placeholders can be thought of as specialized device interfaces that have no
function. As such, you can include one or more of these in their project as if it were a device interface.
Each placeholder must be named uniquely.
