Working With Popup Pages
4. Click Icon Justification (in the Properties Control window) to set the justification of the image on
the popup. Select Absolute to manually position the image.

Adding Text to a Popup Page

Since G4 panels utilize address and channel port/address codes (and possess a single state), you can
display text directly on a Popup Page in your project. If you are also displaying a bitmap on the Popup
Page, the text will automatically be displayed on top of the bitmap (unless otherwise directed via the
Draw Order selection by the user - see the Changing the draw order for selected states section on
page 139).
To add text to a Popup Page:
1. Create a new Popup Page (Panel > Add Popup Page), or open an existing one (via the Workspace
Navigator - Pages tab).
2. With the Popup Page selected, click Text Color in the States tab of the Properties Control window
to enable the browse button. Click the browse button to open the Colors dialog where you can select
a color for the Popup Page text.
3. Click on Font in the States tab of the Properties Control window to enable the browse button, and
select the desired font (in the Font dialog).
4. Click on Text, in the Properties Control window to open the Enter Text dialog.
5. Type the text to be displayed on the Popup Page (up to 4096 characters), and click OK.
6. Click Text Justification (in the Properties Control window) to set the justification of the text on the
Popup Page. Select Absolute to manually position the text.
7. Click Word Wrap, and select whether to wrap text that doesn't fit on a single line on the selected
Popup Page (Yes or No). If you select No, any text that won't fit on the selected Popup may not be
visible, depending on the text justification setting and the size of the Popup.

Displaying a Video Source on a Popup Page

TPDesign4 allows you to assign a video source as the background image on a Page, Popup Page or
Button.
To apply a video fill to a Popup Page:
1. Select (or a create) a Popup Page in your project.
2. In the Properties Control window - States Tab, click Video Fill to activate the drop-down list of
available video sources (Source 1-4). If you are working with an existing popup page with buttons,
be sure to click on the popup page (not on a button) to bring up the State Properties for the popup
page, and not a button on the popup page.
3. Select a video source from the list to apply the video fill to the popup page.

Copying Popup Pages

You can copy a popup page either by selecting a Popup Page only (ensuring that no buttons are selected)
in an active Design View window, or by single-clicking on a page in the Workspace Navigator (Pages
tab) then clicking Edit > Copy from the main menu (or the Copy button in the main toolbar).

Pasting Popup Pages

You can paste (by either clicking Edit > Paste from the main menu or the Paste button in the main
toolbar) a previously copied popup page onto:
