Button Properties
This step is different as it is not found in the
Programming in CCP
manual. Since MX-iOS,
iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch, is a graphical remote, you can tweak a button by adding text and
modifying its image using
Button Properties
.
1. Click on a user interface button to view the
Button Properties
window on the right side of
CCP. Or click on the
Properties
tab to open the Button Properties window.
2. Modify a button by using the following options:
Variable:
Create (press
New
) or assign a variable from the drop down list to change
the state of a button from normal to pressed. This is an optional feature. For
further details, refer to the
Advanced Applications - Variables
section in this
manual.
Button ID:
Not used in programming. This internal Button ID is used by CCP as a
button identifier.
IR ID:
This ID is used by the CCP databases to map commands to the correct soft
button locations when using the "Save All" function of the database. It is usually
not modified during typical programming, but it can be manipulated using the pull-
down list in order to assign a desired IR ID to a button.
Text:
Click on the
Text Entry
box and use the keyboard to edit the label of a
button. Text tools allow you to change the Font, Color, Style and Position of the
text on a button. The Text window also allows you to have different text on the
Normal
button state and the
Pressed
button state.
Image:
Each button has a pre-selected
image that can be modified to a BMP,
GIF, JPG or animated GIF.
Normal and
Pressed are detailed on the next page.
Position and Size:
Modify the button
location using the X,Y coordinates of the
MX-iOS user screen. You may ONLY
modify the button height and width on
NEW buttons, when right-clicking and
selecting
Add Button
. The image file
cannot be modified because of its
predetermined size. Keep in mind the
button can never be larger than the
customizable screen of 640 x 600
(iPhone/iPod Touch) or 1536 x 1124
(iPad).
