7.3 Adding Components

Once pages are defined, the actual components for each page must be

created and placed on the page. The functionality of each component is

then assigned so that the desired behaviour for the project is realised.

Many components can be selected from the tool bar at the top of the

screen. The tool bar is illustrated below.

7.3.1 Text Component

This component displays a single line of text. The font can be

set. There is no border or background.

7.3.2 Images

An Image Component displays an image (Windows™ bitmaps)

on the page. It can be set to be transparent if desired. In this

case, the colour of the bottom left pixel will be used as the

transparent colour. Any pixels in the image matching this colour will not be

displayed (i.e. will be transparent). An image has no border or

background. The image is limited to the size of the display.

7.3.3 Shapes

A Shape Component has a border and background and nothing

else. It is used for drawing:

• Rectangles

• Horizontal or vertical lines (ie. narrow rectangles)

• Triangles

• Circles and ellipses

• Invisible touch sensitive “hot spots”

7.3.4 Buttons

A Button Component consists of a border, background, text and

an image. All of these parts can be used to indicate C-Bus

status:

• The border and background can change colour according to the

Group Address state.

• The text words and font can change according to the Group Address

state.

• The image can toggle between any two images to indicate the Group

Address state.
