StudioWare
¥ Make sure you follow the rules for naming aliases
¥ If a cluster has a shadow on the right and bottom edges, it is a pop-
up cluster that will be hidden when the alias drops below the
minimum value
Also, note that when you set the alias and minimum value for a cluster,
the cluster will seem to disappear. This is perfectly normal; until the
alias reaches the minimum value, the cluster will remain invisible. To
avoid this, set the clusterÕs initial value equal to its maximum value
before leaving the Widget Properties dialog box.
Grouping Widgets
An earlier section of this chapter showed how to create groups of faders,
knobs, and buttons on the ßy while using a StudioWare panel. When you
are in Design mode, you can create and delete groups in several other
ways.
In Design mode, you can also create radio groups. You typically use
radio groups for sets of buttons in which only one can be pressed at a
time, like the preset buttons on some car radios.
Note that grouping widgets that are linked by aliases may cause your
groups or linkages to behave in an unexpected manner. You will need to
be conscious of any existing groups or alias links when you set up either
type of relationship.
To Create a Group...
1. Make sure the button is pressed so you are in Design
mode.
2. Select two or more widgets that you want to group.
3. Right-click on one of the widgets and choose
Group
from the
menu.
When you leave Design mode, the widgets are grouped together.
To Remove a Widget from a Group...
1. Select the Widget you want to remove. Make sure no other
widgets are selected.
2. Right-click on the widget and choose
Group
from the menu.
The widget is removed from the group.
