Using Quick Input - AMX TPDESIGN4 V2.5 Instruction Manual

Working With Buttons
When you select a General as well as a State-oriented search criteria only buttons
that match the General criteria, and within that set, the states that match the State
criteria will be candidates for the replace operation. For example, if you set the search
criteria to include both the Glow-S border style (a General property) and yellow as the
Fill Color (a State property), only those buttons with a Border Style of Glow-S are
candidates, and within that set of candidates, only those states whose Fill Color is set
to yellow satisfy the search criteria.

Using Quick Input

Select Quick Input from the Edit menu or Design View context menu to access the Quick Input
sub-menu. The Quick Input setting determines how typing directly into a Design View or into the
State Manager will be handled:

Select Replace All to close the Find dialog select every button that meets the criteria. The
program informs you of the number of buttons affected by this change.
All replace actions support full Undo / Redo capabilities.
The program will inform you if no buttons are found that match the search criteria.
Current Property: This setting redirects keyboard input to the currently selected
property on the currently visible tab of the Properties Control (assuming one is selected).
For example, if you select the Name property (in the General tab of the Properties control
window), any time you select a button in the Design View, you can just type and press the
Enter key to enter a new button name for the selected button.
Text: This setting redirects keyboard input to the button Text property for all selected
button states (in the States tab of the Properties Control window). For example, if you
select several states on a Multi-State button (in the State Manager window), you can type
and press the Enter key to enter new button text for the selected states. If no states are
selected, text is will be applied to all states of the button selected in the Design View.
Disabled: Disables the Quick Input option.
