Working With Pages
Pages are not only containers for buttons, but can also have up to one address port / address code
and up to one channel port / channel code combination.
 Pages cannot have borders and possess only one state.
 You may place text directly on a page outside the context of a button.
 You can select the name for the page, the page background color, the text color for text
applied directly to the page, and a font for any text specified (including the font size and
settings). If you change any of these properties (except the name) your changes will be
saved and future page creations will carry those selections forward.
 Each page must be unique within its respective panel file in order to be accepted by the
program; all name collision checks in the program are case insensitive.
 The maximum number of pages in a panel file = 500.
The active project/page is indicated in the Workspace Navigator window by a green wedge to the
left of the panel and page icons. Double-click on any page contained in any open project to set it as
the active project. In the example below, "CP4 test" is the active project, and "Page 1" is the active
page in the project:
