Interface Design Page 22

Selecting a Connection

Each page can be assigned to a connection. This allows ShowTouch to communicate with

multiple controllers.

When a page is created, the Default connection is selected. The name of the default connection is

shown to the side for reference. The default connection can be changed from the Controllers

dialog.

To use a connection other than the default,

select it from the drop-down list. When a

new connection name is selected, all items

on the page will communicate with the

controller with that name. If the connection

is renamed, all pages using that connection

will use the new connection name. If the

selected connection is deleted, any page that

uses that connection will use the default

instead.

Please see the section on “Connecting to the

Controller” for more information about

connections.

Viewing Pages

There are three ways to display a different page: create a button action, click the page thumbnail,

or click the “Display Selected Page” button from the Pages dialog. The page thumbnails window

is available when editing in workspace or windowed mode.

Interacting with Pages

Most of the work to create an interface will be done on Touch pages using popup menus. The

popup menus are used to access settings and add items. Once items have been added, they can be

moved individually or as a group. Items can also be tested immediately when created. Unless

specified otherwise, all mouse clicks are left mouse button and can also be executed on

ShowTouch by touching the screen.

 Displaying a Popup Menu

Right-click or double-click anywhere on the page. When in a blank area of the page, the

“New Item and Options Menu” will appear. When over an item, the menu for that item will

appear.

 Moving Items

Click-and-drag a static portion of the item to a new location. For simple items such as buttons

or text, the entire item is static. For items such as sliders, only the base of the item is static so

the slide portion cannot be used to move the item.

If the item is part of the current selection, all items in the selection will move the same

distance. If any item falls outside of the page when the mouse button is released, it will be

forced back to the nearest position within the page.

You can move items to an exact position by right clicking the item in the item list. You can

move the selected item(s) by one pixel at a time using the keyboard arrow keys.
