Description:
Graphic properties
define the graphical appearance of a button. Every button has four different
states, which need a graphic assigned. The button's look changes depending
on the user action (i.e. pressing the button) and the application status.
Possible button states are the following:
Default: graphic for the enabled button,
when it's neither touched by the mouse pointer nor pressed.
Touched: graphic for the enabled button
when the mouse pointer is located somewhere over the button, but it's
not pressed.
Pressed: graphic for the enabled button
when it is clicked with left mouse button.
Disabled: graphic for the deactivated
button, when it's not usable, like the back button of an Internet Explorer
that has just been opened.
Usage:
Choose your own button graphic for each button state by clicking twice
on the preview image, which opens a file selection dialog.
The first click on
the preview thumbnail image highlights the graphic and visualizes this
button state on the button in the design area (so you can see what the
button looks like on the interface).
The second click
opens the file selection dialog for choosing a different graphic.
The graphic may as
well be chosen from the Filename box,
where all graphics used in the project are linked.
TIP:
Edit the selected graphic in your
graphics editor by clicking the edit image button. Select the graphic
to edit by clicking on it once and click the Edit
image button. This will open the graphic in the application that
has been assigned to this file type under File->External
