R-4 Remote Devices - Unsupported Button Types
Computer Control, TakeNote, and Text Input buttons are not supported by R-4 remote controllers, and
are not displayed in the Properties Control Window (when an R-4 project is active).
Using Quick Input
Select Quick Input from the Edit menu or Design View context menu to access the Quick Input sub-
menu.
The Quick Input setting determines how typing directly into a Design View or into the State Manager
will be handled:
Current Property - This setting redirects keyboard input to the currently selected property on
the currently visible tab of the Properties Control (assuming one is selected). For example, if
you select the Name property (in the General tab of the Properties control window), any time
you select a button in the Design View, you can just type and press the Enter key to enter a
new button name for the selected button.
The result of the keystroke will depend on the property selected.
Text - This setting redirects keyboard input to the button Text property for all selected button
states (in the States tab of the Properties Control window). For example, if you select several
states on a Multi-State button (in the State Manager window), you can type and press the
Enter key to enter new button text for the selected states. If no states are selected, text is will
be applied to all states of the button selected in the Design View.
R-4 projects do not support all button types (see R-4 Remote Devices - Unsupported
Button Types below).
All button types continue to be available in the Drawing Toolbar. However, TPDesign4
will display an error message if you attempt to add an unsupported button type in an
R-4 project.
