General
Here you give the Panel object a name, assign a Role,
which defines the functionality and behaviour of
the panel object in relation
to the Main Dialog. Depending on its role, the Panel needs alignment (regarding
its position in relation to the MainDialog) or not. Additionally you decide
if the object is visible in design mode.
Graphic
Assign your own graphic by clicking on the preview image or selecting from
the Filename dropdown list. Assign an invisible color for transparent
regions and decide if the panel should be initially visible during runtime.
Define the position and size of the panel and assign a blending value,
if you want the panel and its objects to be transparent.
How to edit the graphic in your graphics editor:
Click the Edit image button in
order to open the Panel graphic in the application that has been assigned
for editing of this file type under File->External
Editors...
Puzzle
As panels are resizable windows, similar to the MainDialog, the values
under Puzzle define the positions of the puzzle helper
lines, which divide the panel background graphic into 9 different areas
for proper graphical resizing.
Alignment
Give the panel object a reference point where to align with the MainDialog,
when the size of the application is changed.
Note: alignment
of panels does only apply to panels with role Menu
or Relative.
