Working With Popup Pages
Overview
Popup pages are similar to pages in some respects as they are a container for buttons, they may have up
to one address port / address code and up to one channel port / channel code combination, and contain
only one state. Beyond these properties popup pages have many typically button-specific properties, as
well as some special properties that apply only to popup pages.
Popup pages, unlike pages, can be assigned a border style and border color, as well as left, top, width or
height values.
The minimum size for popup pages is 15 pixels in height or width.
Creating a Popup Page
To add a new popup page to the active project:
1. Select Page > Add Popup Page (or click the toolbar icon) to open the Add Popup Page dialog.
2.
Enter a descriptive name for the new popup page in the Name field (avoid using inappropriate file
name characters).
3.
Click the down-arrow to open the Border Style drop-down menu, and click to select the desired
border style for the popup page.
4.
In the Position fields, enter Left and Top coordinates (in pixels, relative to the upper-left corner of
the page which is 0,0) for the desired placement of the popup page when it displayed on the panel.
Use the Position fields when you need to achieve exact positioning.
You can also set it's position manually by dragging it wherever you want it to appear. To position the
Popup manually, you must first enable the Show Popup Pages option in the Page menu. Once the
Popup is displayed on the page, you can click and drag to position it manually.
Note that once you specify the position of the Popup on the page, any time you display the Popup
(via the
Page > Show Popup Pages option), the Popup will always appear in the position specified,
regardless of the page that you display on.
5. In the Size fields, enter the desired Width and Height dimensions (in pixels) for the popup window.
Popup Pages may be created in any size beyond the minimum and up to the maximum size of the
panel. If you create a popup page with either the width dimension or the height dimension smaller
than 100, you will begin to see a crosshatched background to the Design View window. This feature
prevents the creation of a Design View window so small that you would be unable to move the
window around the desktop with the mouse. The design area is inside the crosshatched area.
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.
If a button is selected in a Design View window when you invoke the Add Popup
Page dialog, then the initial values for Left, Top, Width and Height of the new popup
page will match the selected button. Use this feature as a shortcut, especially in
cases where you plan to create several popup pages of the same size and position.
