type.
To replace a UI element with another similar UI element from the Toolbox:
1. Click and drag a UI element from the Toolbox into a Touch Panel UI Diagram.
2. Position the selected UI element directly on top of the element that you want to replace.
3. Assuming the elements are of the same type, when the replacement element is positioned correctly
to replace the existing one, the Replace icon is displayed on the cursor.
