4.10.3.3.6 Logical Font
Defines the font to be used for the button label. Any font in the project can be used for this. The font applies for
both the pressed and released button states.
4.10.3.3.7 Border Width
Determines the button border width. The button is accentuated with suitable colors (see picture above). Border
width is set here depending on the type of hardware used (different for each button).
4.10.3.3.8 Released Button and Pressed Button
The respective appearance of the button is determined for both the released and pressed states in these two
groups. Settings can be made individually for each state. By default, the setting for the released button is also
used for the pressed button.
Button text can be chosen using 'Text Group' and 'Text'. The text must be defined in a text group (see also Text
Group Editor). After assigning a text group, the appropriate text must be selected from it. Direct entry of text is
not supported.
A bitmap can also be entered for each state. It will appear on the left side of the button. If a bitmap is entered,
then text is centered on the right side of the button. Otherwise, text is placed directly in the middle. If only a
bitmap is connected, then it is also placed in the middle of the button.
Any bitmaps in the project can be used in color, black/white, or using transparent effects.
The result is shown in the 'Preview' area. Using the 'Released' and 'Pressed' option fields, the button can be
viewed in their different states.
4.10.3.3.9 Colors
Introduction to Visual Components 2.3
Button colors can be individually set and optionally controlled during application runtime by connecting variables
to them (see also Changing Colors Using Variables).
