Adding Popup Controls
Besides adding Control Pages as a means
to organize the Surface
, Popups allow
specified controls, or groups of controls, to
be hidden or revealed on a given Control
Page. Specifying the affected controls, and
providing Popup buttons is done via the
Property Sheet
.
First, select the control(s) to be affected
and assign EnablePopup (1-Yes) under the
Display Attributes tab in the Property
Sheet. Assign ShowCloseButton (1-Yes) if
individual controls should have dedicated
Close (hide) buttons.
Place a Button or Hotspot control. Then,
assign DSP Block Type (Application) and
Service (Open Popups) under the Data
Attributes tab in the Property Sheet.
The Popup Button may be password
protected by assigning Enable Popup
Password (1-Yes) and entering a Popup
Password.
Select the elipsis (...) to the right of Popups
to provide a list of enabled controls on that
page. Check which controls are to be
revealed with this Popup Button. A master
Close (hide) button for all enabled controls
on that page may also be created by
placing a Popup Button with none of the
enabled controls checked.
One example of using Popup Buttons is
when there are multiple channels to be
controlled, such as in a large mixing
environment. Instead of displaying identical
controls for several channels, the controls
for each channel may be assigned to a
dedicated Popup Button. The channel
controls can then be overlaid, so that only
one channel is revealed at a time, but in the
same location. Next to this single 'channel
strip' of controls, are the Popup Buttons
that select which channel is currently
accessible.
