states collection is reached. The same operation can also be performed with a right mouse
button drag-and-drop, selecting Copy over… from the drag-and-drop menu.
Saving the Active Project as a Different Panel Type
Select File > Save As Different Panel Type to open the Save As Different Panel Type dialog. Use
the options in this dialog to save the active panel project to be compatible with a different panel
type than was specified when the file was created (in the New Project Wizard). The options in this
dialog include:
 Panel Type: This field initially shows the panel type currently associated with this
project. Click the down arrow to open a drop-down list of all supported panel types, and
select a different panel type from the list.
 Screen Size: This field initially shows the screen size (resolution) currently associated
with this project. Each panel type has its own specific resolution, so this is a read-only
field unless you have selected the NXP-TPI/4 (Touch Panel Interface), which supports
four resolution settings (640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 1024). Move the
slider to select the desired resolution.
 New Filename: Use this field to rename the project file, if desired. Use the browse button
to navigate to a different target directory if you need to.
Working With Multiple Projects
TPDesign4 supports working on multiple projects simultaneously, with a few limitations:
Opening Multiple Projects Simultaneously
 You can have up to 50 projects open at once.
 Each project page has its own tab along the bottom of the Design View window (known
as MDI Page Tabs). If you open more than 10 pages at a time, the tabs disappear since
they wouldn't have enough room to identify each page by name (which is their purpose).
Use the View > MDI Page Tabs option to toggle the page tabs. When this option is
enabled, a tab is displayed for each open page. The page tabs normally appear along the
bottom edge of the Design View window area, but can be moved, toggled or modified via
the MDI tabs context menu (right-click inside any of the tabs).
 You can copy/paste pages, popup pages and buttons across projects to save time and
effort.
If you copy/paste or drag/drop a bitmap, icon or sound state property to a button or
page in a different opened panel, only the property value is copied, not the image or
sound file itself. If the destination panel does not have an image or sound file by the
same name the operation will ultimately fail. For copy/paste or drag-and-drop
operations of individual state properties between panel files to work, an image or
sound file of the same name must exist in the target panel.
