Working With Buttons

TPDesign4 (v3.2 or higher)
This is where the Lock Button Name option (General tab of the Properties Window) comes into play. By
default, the Lock Button Name option is set to Off. At any point in the design process, click Lock Button
Name and select Yes to prevent the button from being automatically renamed by the program when you edit
the text or bitmap assignment(s).
However, Lock Button Name does not prevent you from manually renaming the button, via the Name field.
Page Flips
A basic touch panel page design concept is the Page Flip. A page flip is a button attribute that allows the user
to press a button to "flip" through different panel pages.
A basic example would be a button labeled "DVD Player" on a main page that when touched, opens a DVD
Player page, containing only buttons that control the DVD player.
Typically you would set up a different control page for each piece of equipment. Organization of device
controls is essential to good touch panel design, and page flips allow you to separate, organize and cross-link
your control pages.
Page Flips are defined via the Page Flip (General) button property.
