Deleting User-Interface Elements From The Touch Panel Page
VA generates default touch panel pages for each third-party (controlled) device in the system. These
default pages represent the basic functionality of the device, based on device type and the selected touch
panel template. You can use the options in the Customize UI Pages dialog to edit these default pages if
necessary.
To delete UI elements from the touch panel page:
1.
With a device element selected in a Touch Panel UI Diagram, select
Touch Panel > Customize UI
Pages
to access the Customize UI pages dialog. The touch panel page associated with the selected
device is displayed in the Design View window (in its default configuration).
The User Interface Elements window (on the right-side of the dialog) displays a listing of all
user-interface elements supported by this device. Note that these elements are color-coded
(blue or gray - see FIG. 102).
The elements with a blue icon are currently included in the Touch Panel page, gray icons
indicate the elements that are not currently included on the page. These elements can be added
(as new buttons) to the panel page.
If you select a button in the Design View window, a green flag next to the element's icon (in
the User Interface Elements window) indicates which element the selected button represents.
2.
Select the button that you want to remove and press Delete.
Alternatively, you can right-click on any button and select
Delete Element
from the context
menu, or click on the Delete Element toolbar button.
You can also select the desired element in the User Interface Elements window and press
Delete (or right-click and select Delete Element from the context menu or click the Delete
Element toolbar button).
Note that once the selected element is deleted in the Design View, the element is
indicated as unused in the User Interface Elements window (with a grey icon).
Editing Button Text

necessary.
