Toolbox - Touch Panel Navigation - AMX VISUALARCHITECT 1.1 Manual

VisualArchitect v1.1 Overview
By default, all available device types are shown. De-select any item in the Toolbox sub-menu to prevent
that device type from being displayed in the Toolbox.
VA uses a device database to populate the list of module-supported devices
(displayed in the Devices tab of the Toolbox). The device database is installed as part
of the VA installation routine. However, the device database can be updated via
options in the Device Database Manager dialog. In order for a device to be available
for inclusion in your projects, it must be represented in the device database.
There are several devices indicated in the database when VA is installed, and there are many more that
can be downloaded from the InConcert Resource Center (on www.amx.com) and added to the database.

Toolbox - Touch Panel Navigation

If you are in a Touch Panel UI tab of the Diagram Area, the toolbox provides access to all elements
available within the Template selected for this touch panel. In this scenario, use the Toolbox to select
template elements to incorporate in your panel navigation layout (FIG. 11).
