Popup Pages
Overview
Generally, Popup Pages provide a mode of sub-navigation for the panel's UI by presenting a set of options that
sit on top of a main Page. Popup Pages are similar to Pages in some respects as they are a container for
Buttons, they may have up to one address and channel port code assignments, and contain only one state.
Otherwise, Popup Pages have many typically Button specific properties, as well as some special properties that
apply only to Popup Pages. For example, Popup pages (unlike Pages) can be assigned a border style and border
color, as well as left, top, width or height values.
As of TPDesign4 v3.2, Popup Pages are sub-divided into two types: Standard Popups and Sub-Page
Popups.
Standard Popups
Standard Popups are the basic Popup Page that has always been supported in TPD4. FIG. 137 shows an
example of a Standard Popup Page that provides navigation to a set of display options, on top of a main Page:
Standard Popups are represented in the Workspace Window (Pages tab) within the Popup Pages folder
(FIG. 138):
Standard Popup Pages can be organized in to Popup Page Groups. Popup Page Groups provide a mechanism
to group Standard Popup Pages into mutually exclusive groups for display purposes (see the Popup Page
Groups section on page 113).
