Using the Apply To All option
The Apply To All toggle button is located at the bottom of the Properties Control window.
Use the Apply to All option to set button properties to edit multiple buttons simultaneously.
If the Apply To All button is not depressed, and you select more than one button to act on, the
Prev or Next buttons will activate on the Properties Control window. Also note that while you
have multiple buttons selected, only one of them has the edit focus at any given time. Use the
Prev and Next buttons to cycle through the selected buttons to view each button's properties in
the Properties Control window. The button represented in the Properties Control window is
the one with edit focus. All modifications are always on the button with the edit focus.
If the Apply To All button is depressed and you select more than one button to act on, the
Prev or Next buttons are unavailable and every selected button has the edit focus. You may
also notice that one or more (if not all) of the property values in the grid are blank. The only
values that will display in the grid while the Apply To All button is depressed are those values
that are common among all selected items. Typing in or changing a value in any property box
will immediately affect all selected buttons, provided that the change can be applied to them
all. In the event that a value is appropriate for one (or more) buttons but inappropriate for
others, you will see a message that states that the value was only applied to those buttons for
which it was valid.
To make changes that affect all states on a button at once, use the All States option in the States tab
(located directly above the other listed states for the selected button).
Using the Prev and Next buttons
The Prev and Next buttons, located at the bottom of the Properties Control window (next to the Apply to
All option) are activated only when more than one button is selected on a page, and the Apply To All
option is not depressed (in its active state). These buttons allow you to quickly edit the selected buttons
individually. Hold down the Shift key and click to select multiple buttons.
Note that when you have multiple buttons selected, only one of them has the edit focus at any given time.
Use the Prev and Next buttons to cycle through the selected buttons to view each button's properties in
the Properties Control window. The button represented in the Properties Control window is the one with
edit focus. All modifications are always done on the button with the edit focus.
All position (X-Y) values in TPDesign4 are zero-based (measured in pixels), meaning that the
upper-left corner of each page is represented by the X-Y value of 0, 0.
The Apply To All option works on multiple button selections, but not on multiple states for a
single button. To make state-oriented changes across multiple states, select the states that you
want to edit and they will appear listed in the States tab of the Properties Control window.
