Useful Tips

•
When editing screen object properties, there are two check boxes at the lower left
of the properties window:
When setting or typing something in the properties window, you can select "Use
As Default". Then following screen objects, which are the same type as previous,
will contain all these settings and texts as default.
Selecting the "Display Expansion Tabs" will activate more setting tabs in the
properties window. There is e.g. the Macro function settings displayed then.
•
If you want to import an existing screen from another project, select [New Screen]
- [Reuse Existing Screen]. This is the ONLY way to import screens and
components from other projects!
•
When editing existing screen objects, the fastest way to edit addresses and
colors is simply edit them directly on the toolbar (see the picture below).
•
In the Test mode: each time you double-click on a screen where no object is
registered, the test window style changes. To display a menu bar, make a double-
click three times. When a menu bar is displayed, you can e.g. exit a test by
selecting [Quit] from [File] menu.
The Window style is changed to [No title bar]->[Full screen]->[With title bar and
menu bar].
•
The project can contain three types of Macro's; Project Macro, Screen Macro and
Object Macro. With the macro, there is possibility e.g. to control the Compact
Flash memory, make some scaling, compare the variables, move the screen
objects and make number conversions. Please refer to the Macro Reference
Manual for more information.
