Working With States
Overview
All G4 panel entities have at least one state.
Pages and popup pages have only one state.
General, Bargraph and Text Input buttons have only two states.
Multi-State General and Multi-State Bargraph buttons have from 2 to 256 states.
Joystick buttons have only one state (Off).
The State Manager interacts with the States tab of the Properties Control window to allow the visual
aspects of a button, page, or popup page to be set (FIG. 63).
The State Manager window allows you to view/edit individual states on a selected button.
If the State Manager is not visible, or if no states have been selected, the State Properties will
show a list of all of the states for the selected button, page, or popup page. The individual
properties for a state can be shown or hidden by clicking either on the "State n" category item
or by clicking the +/- tree control for that state.
If states have been selected in the State Manager, the State Properties will represent the
intersection of the selected states, reflected by the text of the title item. Setting a property
value will propagate that value across all selected states.
