Choose Display State dialog
This dialog is accessed when you select Choose Display State from the Display sub-menu (in the
Design View context menu). Use this dialog to select which state of the selected button to display in
the Design View.
This dialog displays a list of all available states for the selected button. Select there state you want
to display, and click OK.
Button Preview window
Select View > Button Preview to open the Button Preview window. Like the other windows in
TPDesign4, the Button Preview window is fully dockable, but initially it opens undocked. Double-
click inside the title bar to dock the window. The Button Preview window displays a preview of the
selected button. Initially the button is shown in its Off state.
This window includes three command buttons:
 Click the Disable button to disable the button preview, but not close the Button Preview
window. Click again to enable the preview.
 Click the Mute button to mute any sounds associated with this button.
 Click the Push button to simulate a push on the selected button. This allows you to
visually preview the On/Off states (and all states in between, for multi-state buttons).
Right-click inside the preview area of the Button Preview window to access the Button Preview
context menu.
Working With External Controls (Pushbuttons/LEDs)
TPDesign v2.2 (or higher) supports editing the properties for programmable external controls
(external pushbuttons and LEDs) for NXD-CV7, MVP-7500, and MVP-8400 panels.
 You can edit external control properties on both a panel-wide basis and on a page specific
button-by-button basis.
 The global, panel-wide settings for external controls can be accessed and edited through
the External Controls entry in the Pages tab of the Workspace Navigator Window.
Double-click this entry to access a Design View Window representing the size and
placement of the external buttons and LEDs, which may be selected like any other button
for editing.
 Page specific external controls settings are accessed via each page's Design View (with
the Page > Show External Controls option enabled).
Button Preview is not available for Joystick Buttons.
