Key Settings for a Screen

Each screen can have its own key operation. You can allow a key to perform an operation only in the specified screen by changing the settings of the screen keys in the Screen Properties property sheet. To open the Screen Properties property sheet, please see Section 3.9.3 Setting up a Screen for details. The Screen Properties property sheet has the Keys page to set up the keys for the screen.

The following is an example of the Keys page and Usage Setup dialog in Screen Properties property sheet.

There are two parts in the above illustration: Key Usage Table and Usage Setup Dialog.

■ Key Usage Table
A table lists all the keys of the target panel and their usages. The key usage table is the same as the one in the Keys page of the General Setup property sheet when the screen is created. For details about Key Usage Table, please see Section 3.2.3.

■ Usage Setup Dialog
A floating dialog box allows you to specify the usage for the selected key or key combination. Left-click the cell in the key usage table to bring up the dialog box. The Use Default option is checked by default. Uncheck the Use Default option to assign a usage for the selected cell that will only be available in the specified screen. For details about Usage Setup Dialog, please see Section 3.2.4.
