- <h2>Button Properties Dialog</h2>
-
- <p>Here's what the various dialog fields do:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li><b>Function: </b>This allows you to attach a function to
- the button. The functions are described in the <a
- href="function.htp">Function Reference</a>. Calculator
- specific functions such as "plus" or
- "minus" always start with a letter from
- "a" to "z". Other functions, such as
- "_PlayMacro", start with the "_"
- character. This was done to separate layout functions
- from calculator functions.</li>
- <li><b>Parameter:</b> Some functions require a parameter. For
- example, the <b>_PlayMacro</b> function needs the name of
- the macro to play.</li>
- <li><b>Alt. Keycap: </b>This field lets you dictate how you
- want the button to appear. If you leave this field blank,
- then a default value will be used. If the <b>Format</b>
- field is "Text", then the text string you
- specify here will appear on the button. If you set the <b>Format</b>
- to "Bitmap", then the bitmap file (*.2bp) image
- will appear on the button. </li>
- <li><b>Font: </b>You can select a <b>small</b>, <b>medium </b>or
- <b>large </b>font to draw the text on the button. The
- small, medium and large fonts can be changed by the <b>Edit</b>
- command from the top menu bar while in <b>Program Mode</b>.</li>
- <li><b>Align:</b> You can have the button text or bitmap
- image aligned <b>left, center, </b>or <b>right.</b></li>
- <li><b>Format: </b>This is the format for the button, it can
- be <b>Money, Text</b>, <b>Real Number</b>, <b>Integer, </b>or
- <b>Bitmap.</b> Most of the time, you will want to have
- this set as <b>Text</b> or <b>Bitmap. Money, Real Number</b>
- and <b>Integer</b> are used with the _<b>Variable</b> or <b>_Display
- </b>functions.</li>
- <li><b>X, Y, Width, Height: </b>These specify the position
- and size of the button. You can also change the position
- and size by dragging the button, or the edge of a button.</li>
- <li><strong>Key: </strong>You may choose a single keystroke
- to press this button. Scroll through the list, or just
- type a letter, number or punctuation mark.</li>
- </ul>
