TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Software (v2.10 or higher)
General Properties (Cont.)
Lock Button Name
This option controls how the name of the selected button is managed by the pro-
gram. When new buttons are created, by default the buttons are automatically
given a sequential two-part name composed of the button number (relative to the
number of buttons already created in the Project) and button type, separated by a
colon (i.e. "Button 1 : general", "Button 2 : multi-state general", etc.).
However, TPDesign4 goes further in automatically generating a descriptive name
for the button, based on the text and/or bitmap applied to the button:
If you apply text to the button, the button text is substituted for the button number.
For example if you create a new button (which is automatically named "Button 9"),
then add the text "Welcome", note that the button is automatically renamed to
"Welcome : general". Note that this name change occurs on the fly, and does not
require a Save operation.
Button Text always overrides the presence of a bitmap. If a button contains text,
then assigning a bitmap to the button will not affect the button name. However, if no
button text exists, and you apply a bitmap to the button, the button is automatically
renamed to reflect the bitmap file name (i.e. "Background : general").
Note that if you change the text (or apply new text where there was none), the but-
ton is again renamed to reflect the updated text. Furthermore, any time you change
the text on the button, the button name is automatically updated with either the lat-
est text or bitmap assignment (if there is no text).
This is where the Lock Button Name option comes into play. By default, Lock But-
ton Name is set to Off. At any point in the design process, click Lock Button Name
and select Yes to prevent the button from being automatically renamed by the pro-
gram when you edit the text or bitmap assignment(s). However, Lock Button Name
does not prevent you from manually renaming the button, via the Name field.

via this button. The range is 0-2000, the default setting is 0.

aries of the popup page when the popup page is visible.

Button 1, Button 2, Button 3 etc.), click Name to activate the editable field, where
you can type the new name.

Page Flip Actions dialog.

entered into the PC remote desktop server component.

Reset Pos. On Show:
If this option is turned on, the popup page will always appear at the position estab-
lished during popup page design each time it is displayed. This might be desirable
if the popup page contains a button which provides the end user with the ability to
move the popup page at will.
Popup Pages only.
