Pushbutton Shortcuts & Tips
To quickly add pushbuttons to your screens.
After selecting a pushbutton from the Object menu or
Toolbox, single click on the screen and it will automatically
create a pushbutton of a specific size.
Limited on screen space? The PanelView keypad terminal
allows you to access a pushbutton without displaying it
on the screen.
After selecting a pushbutton from the Object menu or
Toolbox, single click on a function key and the key will be
active.
Or, uncheck the Turn Object View On from the pushbutton
Options dialog box. To access the Options dialog box,
double-click the pushbutton, or right-click and select Object
Properties or select the Edit/Object Properties menu. Then
select the Options tab.
Graphic Import Shortcuts
When creating graphic bitmaps in other software packages
such as Paint, you can copy and paste directly into
PanelBuilder32 as a graphic image – bypassing the import
utility.
Once your graphic is complete in Paint, select the graphic
and Edit/Copy.
In PanelBuilder32, paste the graphic by selecting Edit/Paste
from the menu or right-clicking on the object and selecting
Paste. PanelBuilder32 will prompt for a name for the
graphic image and paste the object on the active screen.
You may reuse the graphic in other objects by selecting
the object and either Format/Inner Graphic from the menu
or the Inner Graphic button .
NEW! Screen Captures for Documentation
Ever want to copy and paste screen captures into a
document or manual without having to crop the software
toolbars from the images? Now you can copy the image
exclusively as it appears in PanelBuilder32.
To copy a single screen to the clipboard, select F5 or
Screen/Capture to Clipboard menu. Paste into another
software package such as Microsoft Word or Paint.
To save screen captures to bitmap files, select Screen/
Capture Manager. You can save multiple screens to multiple
bitmap files or to a single bitmap file. You can even select
what size you want to save the bitmap image as.
You can reuse screen captures within the application by
selecting Import into Current Application from the Capture
Manager dialog. Bringing a screen capture into the
application allows you to show a thumbnail of a screen on
a Go to screen button. To use a bitmap in an object, select
the object and either Format/Inner Graphic from the menu
or the Inner Graphic button. Then select the desired bitmap
from the Graphic list.
