Page Flip Actions
With a button selected in a Design View window, click Page Flip in the Properties window (General tab) to
open the Button Page Flip Actions dialog, where you can set the type of page flip to apply to the selected
button, and specify the target page for the page flip (see FIG. 179 on page 130).
Click the Add command button to access the Page Flip Actions drop-down list which allows you to select
from a list of available page flip actions:
Note that Page Flip Animations work with Pages only, not with Popup Pages. When this option is
selected, the selected Page Flip Animation settings are used as the Page Flip Action for this page flip.
Drag & Drop To Set Page Flips
TPD4 supports a shortcut for adding page flips: Simply select the target page or popup page for the flip in the
Workspace window (Pages tab), drag it into a Design View window and drop it onto a button to create a flip to
that page or popup page.
Alternatively, you can also drag and drop a page or popup page from the Workspace window onto the Page
Flip property in the Properties Window (General tab):
Page Flip Actions
• Standard Page This selection populates the Target list box with a list of standard pages in your
project. Select a target page for the page flip.
Multiple Standard page flips are allowed.
• Previous Page This selection sets the page flip to go to the previous page (relative to the order of
existing page flips) when the button is touched.
• Show Popup This selection populates the Target list box with a list of popup pages in your project.
Select a target popup page for the page flip (to show when the button is touched).
• Hide Popup This selection populates the Target list box with a list of popup pages in your project.
Select a target popup page for the page flip (to hide when the button is touched).
• Toggle Popup This selection populates the Target list box with a list of popup pages in your project.
Select a target popup page for the page flip (to toggle hide/show when the button is
touched).
• Hide Popup Group This selection populates the Target list box with a list of popup page groups in your
project. Select a target popup page group for the page flip (to hide when the button is
touched).
• Hide Popups on Page This selection populates the Target list box with a list of standard pages in your
project. Select the page that you want to hide the Popups on when the button is
touched.
• Hide All Popups This selection sets the page flip to clear all popup pages when the button is touched.
• Page Flip Forget This selection flips to the page specified, but does not retain the source page in the
page flip stack (which is used to execute previous page flips).
Use this option when you do not wish to return to the page that initiated the page flip
when a subsequent previous page flip action is performed. This allows the user start
on page one, flip to page two, flip to page three, then with a page flip go directly back
to page one.
• Standard Animated
(MVP-9000i only)
This selection populates the Target list box with a list of standard pages in your
project. Select a target page for the page flip. Multiple Standard page flips are
allowed.
• Previous Animated
(MVP-9000i only)
This selection sets the page flip to go to the previous page (relative to the order of
existing page flips) when the button is touched.
Multiple Popup actions like Toggle popup, Show Popup and Hide Popup for the same
Popup Page are allowed on the same button.
