4.2.2.8 IPC − Step 8: Creating HotSpots for Changing Pictures<br />

Before configuring the individual pictures, you should first set up navigation between them. In this example, a<br />

simple switch sequence is implemented in the order 'INIT_PIC' −−> 'PAGE2' −−> 'PAGE3' −−> 'INIT_PIC' −−><br />

etc.<br />

Since a touch display will be used, an area must be defined on each page for triggering the page change by<br />

touch. In <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Components</strong>, these areas are known as 'HotSpots'. HotSpots are rectangular, invisible areas on<br />

a page, which can be assigned the same functions as 'real' function keys. It could therefore be said that<br />

HotSpots, as well as touch buttons, are virtual function keys.<br />

To insert a HotSpot on the 'INIT_PIC' page, click on the 'INIT_PIC' entry under Pictures in the project tree. The<br />

blank area of your first page appears in the right−hand window.<br />

Click on the icon in the toolbar and select HotSpot from the menu.<br />
