Buttons corner radius

Post by wlederer »

When I choose the button from the objects and try to change the corner radiuses in the property, it does not seem to work. But, if the button is taken from the component library - it works fine. How to control the radiuses for the object buttons? Or, how to edit the buttons in the components library, e.g. remove or change pictures shown?
Regards, Waldemar

The buttons in the component library are special .lib buttons. They are not normal buttons. In fact, there are many different types of buttons in iX Developer and your ability to change different aspects of the way a button looks depends on what type of button as well as whether you are targeting a Windows CE based HMI or a PC.

You can always use a Multi picture and create your own buttons. A tag can be used to change the picture that gets displayed. That way when the user presses the button they get one picture and when they release they get another.

You can select one of the many styles that already have rounded corners and then change the CornerRadius to suit your needs. You can use the Picture option to change the picture in the button.

Thank You Mark.
Was the button in the example made from a rectange in the "Objects" ?
Is there any way to edit (add or remove pictures) .lib buttons?
