Page State Properties
Use the State tab of the Properties Control window to set/edit page state properties. The State tab
contains a table that lists the page state properties for the active page. To edit any of the listed properties,
click on an item in the right-hand column to activate the field. Depending on the item selected, you can
either set the item manually, select from a drop-down menu, or both.
The following State properties are supported at the page level:

• Draw Order: This field allows you to specify the order in which the elements of a button, page or
popup page are drawn. By default, the draw order is: 1) fill, 2) bitmap,3) icon, 4) text,
5) border.
Click the browse button (...) to access the State Draw Order dialog to change the

• Video Fill: To apply a video fill to the selected state, click the down-arrow to open the list of
available video sources (1-4). This option is only available for video-capable panels.

With Video Pass-Thru enabled, the panel's touch coordinates are passed from the
RGB card on a TPI/4 to the connected PC as USB commands.
• This feature works only if the TP4-RGB card is connected directly to the PC, via
the USB port on the RGB card.

you to "synch" the touch actions on the panel to those on the connected PC.

button to open the Select Resource dialog, where you can select an image file from
among those imported into the project.

the Font dialog, where you can select a Font, Style and Size for the page text.

ton to open the Enter Text dialog, where you can type the new page text. Use the

the drop-down list (default = No).
