PDesign4 Touch Panel Design Program

Creating Placeholder Elements

In order for a TP4 file to be successfully exported as a G4 PanelBuilder Template file (*.TPT), the

TP4 project file must contain at least one Placeholder Element.

A Placeholder element is basically a blank device/feature element that allows you add items to the

project in G4PanelBuilder that are not included in the template.

Placeholder elements consist of one page, and may contain multiple popups. Only one Placeholder

element can be displayed at a time

To create a basic Placeholder element, create a new Page (Panel > Add Page), and name it

according to the naming convention required by G4 PanelBuilder for Placeholder elements:

[placeholder#placeholderName]pageName

 placeholderName - The name of the Placeholder element as it will appear in G4

PanelBuilder.

 pageName - The base page name that will be used in the generated TP4 project.
