CHAPTER 4
Objects
This chapter describes the various objects available within CX-Supervisor. It also describes the
processes for creating, editing and manipulating objects.
Objects
Pages created with CX-Supervisor are constructed from objects that are inserted and linked together
to form a coherent interface. CX-Supervisor objects are divided into three groups: graphical, control
and embedded.
Generally, the procedures for creating objects are identical. A pushbutton representing the desired
object is clicked on the Graphic Object bar. The mouse pointer is then either clicked on the page (for
a default sized object), or clicked and dragged to the appropriate point on the page for a custom sized
object.
Editing Objects
Editing falls into three distinct categories:
♦
Re-sizing an object.
♦
Re-shaping an object.
♦
Modifying an object using a Wizard.
Re-sizing
To re-size an object, click on it with the left mouse button. This 'selects' it and brings up green
sizing grab handles. Click and drag the handles until the object is of the desired size.
Re-shaping
Re-shaping procedures are similar for all graphical objects which can be reshaped. Not all can.
Control objects can only be reshaped using Wizards.
To change the shape of a graphical object, choose Edit Object from the Edit menu to bring up the red
editing grab handles. Click and drag the handles until the object is of the desired shape.
The typeface of the editor can be amended by choosing Preferences from the File menu. This is
especially useful when printing.
CX-Supervisor preferences can be configured such that double-clicking on a graphical object also
brings up the red editing grab handles. Setting this preference is achieved by selecting Preferences
from the File menu. Refer to chapter 2, Pages for further details on preferences and CX-Supervisor
configuration.
