explicitly choose to save them in another location.
Project Files contain all of the information required to define the user-interface that is displayed on the
touch panel, including pages and popup pages and associated navigation/page-flip information, buttons
including function code information, and all image and sound-related files that are used in the design.

Creating a New Project

TPDesign4 includes a New Project Wizard, to quickly guide you through the process of setting up a new
project. To launch the New Project Wizard, select File > New, or click the toolbar button.
The New Project Wizard is designed to be simple and intuitive. Simply fill in the fields in each New
Project Wizard dialog, and click Next to proceed to the next dialog.
Click the Finish button in the last dialog in the wizard to close the wizard. At this point, the project is
created with one generic page, and is ready for you to start adding pages, popup pages and buttons
(including External Controls, if the selected panel type features external pushbuttons).
TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Software (v2.10 or higher)
Each page / popup page name must be unique within their respective panel files in order to be
accepted by the program.
All name collision checks in the program are case insensitive.
When creating a new Project file, avoid using inappropriate file name characters (see below).
