immediately affect all selected buttons, provided that the change can be applied to them all. In
the event that a value is appropriate for one (or more) buttons but inappropriate for others, you
will see a message that states that the value was only applied to those buttons for which it was
valid.
General Buttons
"General" buttons are basic dual-state buttons that can be used for most touch panel functions, and are
not associated with a specific functionality (as opposed to other button types, which have specific
functionalities).
Multi-State General Buttons
"Multi-State General" buttons are basic multi-state buttons that can be used for most touch panel
functions, and that support up to 256 states. Use multi-state buttons when you want to utilize animation
effects.
Bargraph Buttons
"Bargraph" buttons are level monitors and adjustable level controls that can be configured to monitor or
adjust audio outputs and lighting levels.
Multi-State Bargraph Buttons
Unlike regular Bargraph buttons, when you draw a Multi-State Bargraph button there is no slider
indicated on the button (in the Design View window). Also note that unlike regular bargraph buttons,
there are no slider-oriented settings to make in the Properties Control window.
This is because multi-state bargraph buttons, like multi-state General buttons, use up to 256 states to
animate the button action. In the case of Bargraph buttons, you'll be animating a change in levels as
opposed to a push/release, as on Multi-State General buttons. Rather than assign a prepared slider, like
you would for a normal Bargraph button, you can animate an icon across the states to serve as a custom
slider.
Custom sliders on Multi-state Bargraph Buttons
Custom sliders on Multi-state Bargraph Buttons work on the panel basically the same as regular sliders.
You adjust a level, you touch the bargraph button and move the slider up and down (or side to side on a
horizontal Bargraph button).
To create a custom slider:
1.
Create a Multi-State Bargraph button.
2.
Select
State 1
in the Properties Control Window (States tab), or in the State Manager window.
3.
Apply a
Icon Slot
assignment to State 1.
4.
Set the
Icon Justification
to
Absolute
.
5.
In the Image and Text Positioning dialog (right-click on the button and select Image and Text
Positioning), move the icon into the position that you want to be the "start position" for the bargraph
slider. The start position for Multi-State Bargraph buttons is always the bottom of the bargraph
(representing the minimum level setting).
