7.0 Creating a C-Touch Project

A C-Touch project is comprised of a set of pages with various controls on each page.

How the project works determines the user experience.

7.1 Starting a Project

The project may be started in three basic ways from the File menu. These

options are New Project, Project Wizard and Open.

7.1.1 New Blank Project

When the C-Touch Configuration program first starts, a blank project is

created automatically.

A new C-Touch project is created at any other time when File | New

Project is selected. The Project Details dialogue will appear so that the

necessary details can be entered.

7.1.2 Modifying an Example File

The File | Open selection provides a means for loading a project which

has already been created. Once open, new pages and controls can be

added to the project and either saved in that project or saved in a new

project based upon the one opened.

7.1.3 Using the Project Wizard

The basis of a C-Touch project can be automatically created by means of

the Project Wizard. The Project Wizard may be run by selecting File |

Project Wizard. The pages that are required are selected and

acknowledged with the OK button.

The pages generated by the Project Wizard are loaded from the

Templates directory. User pages may be used by the Project Wizard by

substituting these pages for the ones supplied in the C-Touch distribution.

The file names must be the same. Note that if the page names change or

if the menu button text changes, the Project Wizard may not find the

necessary files or make the correct page links.

7.1.4 Setting Project Details

The project details are settings that apply to the entire project. The

information in these details relates to the type of installation, where the

C-Touch unit is installed, the kind of audible feedback the project will give

on the unit and whether a night light is required.
