Searching And Replacing Button Properties - AMX TPDESIGN4 V2.5 Instruction Manual

You can also select whether to overwrite image names, occupied slots and utilized sounds, in case
you are pasting over existing buttons that have their own image/slot/sound associations. By default,
all "overwrite" options are disabled.

Searching and Replacing Button Properties

Select Edit > Find (or click the toolbar button) to access the Find dialog, which allows you to
search for any button property value either within the currently open Page, or across the entire
Project. You can specify to search for any General or State button property. For example, you can
perform a search based on button type, name, border style, and state count (among many others), or
any combination of search criteria.
To search for button properties:
1. Open the Find dialog (see above).
2. In the Search Criteria table, select the button properties to use as the search criteria. You can
include any General or State button property as search criteria. General and State properties are
separated into two sections.
3. In the Search Scope area, select either Entire Panel or Current Page.
4. When the first instance of the criteria is found, the Find In Page dialog is compressed to only
show the buttons that satisfy the search criteria, and the first button found that satisfies the
search criteria is selected in the Design View.

whose values match the search criteria.

only, based on the specified criteria and scope.
