Working With Pages
Overview
Pages are not only containers for buttons, but can also have up to one address port / address code and up
to one channel port / channel code combination.
Pages cannot have borders and possess only one state.
You may place text directly on a page outside the context of a button.
You can select the name for the page, the page background color, the text color for text applied
directly to the page, and a font for any text specified (including the font size and settings). If
you change any of these properties (except the name) your changes will be saved and future
page creations will carry those selections forward.
Each page must be uniquely named within its respective panel file in order to be accepted by
the program; all name collision checks in the program are case insensitive.
The maximum number of pages in a panel file = 500.
The active project/page is indicated in the Workspace Navigator window by a green wedge to the left of
the panel and page icons. Double-click on any page contained in any open project to set it as the active
project. In the example below, "CP4 test" is the active project, and "Page 1" is the active page in the
project:
