Page Objects

The page on which you draw other objects is actually an object itself. It has properties that you can set and it has a To Do List.

Note: This main section provides information on the page's role as an object. For complete information on creating and manipulating pages, see Chapter 3.

Page Appearance

Use the BackgroundColor property to change the color of the page's backdrop. Or, use the Filename property to load a graphic behind all the other objects. If you want certain objects to persist across the display of several pages, you can create a background page and then use the BackgroundPage property to associate the background with the current page.

You can set page properties in either the Project window or the Page Layout Editor. However, you can only set the To Do List for a page in the Page Layout Editor.

To change the size of all pages in a project while you are editing, choose Settings... from the Project menu. The Project Settings dialog box appears.

Set the Width and Height fields as desired and click on OK.

Interactivity

A user can interact with a page in several ways.

For more information on available events, see the section entitled "Page Object Methods, Properties and Events."
