Replacing States

There are two ways to replace states in a multi-state button:

Replacing States From the Clipboard

Select a multi-state button in the Design View.

2. In the State Manager window, select the source state(s).

Hold down the Ctrl key while left-clicking to add states to the selection.

Hold down the Shift key while left-clicking to add a range of states to the selection.

3. Select Copy from the Edit menu or the State Manager Context Menu, or press Ctrl-C.

4. Select the multi-state button whose states will be replaced.

5. Select the destination states.

6. Select Paste from the Edit menu or the State Manager Context Menu, or press Ctrl-V.

If the number of destination states is equal to the number of source states, the destination states are

replaced one-for-one from the clipboard.

If the number of destination states is less than the number of source states, the destination states are

replaced one-for-one until all have been replaced, with remaining source states being unused.

If the number of destination states is greater than the number of source states, the destination states

are replace one-for-one until all source states have been used, at which point replacing will start

again at the beginning of the source states until all destination states have been replaced.

Replacing States via Drag-and-Drop

Select a multi-state button in the Design View.

2. In the State Manager window, select the source state(s).

3. Press and hold the right mouse button, and drag the mouse over the first state to be replaced.

Beginning at the state the drop occurred over, states will be replaced one-for-one until either the number of

source states have been used or the end of the states collection is reached.

Setting the Maximum Active State For a Button

You can set the maximum active state on a multi-state button by selecting the last state in a sequence (in the

State Manager window) and selecting the States > Set As Max Active State option. The state tagged as the

max active state will be the last one included in the multi-state sequence.

All states beyond the max active state are ignored when the button is pushed.

Note that the states that occur after the max active state in the sequence are displayed with crosshatching

across the labels on the thumbnails in the State Manager window, to indicate which states will not be included

in the multi-state sequence.

selecting Copy over State <#> from the State Manager Drag-and-Drop Menu.
