Section 4.3.5 · Chapter 4: Designing Screens

Label Settings

This section describes how to set up the inner label for the following types of objects:
  Bit Button, Toggle Switch, Screen Button, Function Button, Word Button, Keypad Button, and Bit Lamp.

The property sheets of the above mentioned objects provide you with the Label page to set up the inner label. If an object only has one state, the Label page has the Text sub-page and the Picture sub-page for you to set up the text and the picture of the inner label respectively. If an object has two states, the Label page has the following four sub-pages:

Sub-page For Setting
OFF Text Text of state 0 (Off)
OFF Picture Picture of state 0 (Off)
ON Text Text of state 1 (On)
ON Picture Picture of state 1 (On)

You can use the Label page to set the inner label of an object that can have at most two states.
The following is an example of the Label page.

The following table describes only the properties in the Label page that are common to all its sub-pages. The properties of each of its sub-pages are described in the specific section about each sub-page.

Border Spacing The margin (in pixels) to the border of the object’s shape for both the text body and picture.
