Note: It is now possible to automatically create the necessary panels from a correspondingly
prepared and initialized database with the Panel-Generator.
These panels can then be adapted to personal needs. For the detailed
procedure on how to use the Panel-Generator, please read the Online-
Help.
5.2 Editing a Panel
Under the menu item Options you will find entries for editing the panel.
Panel Size, Name, Color and Fonts... opens a dialog in which you can define the
name, size, background color and transparency color of the panels.
During CANoe operation the name of the panel appears in the panel window's title
bar. To make all elements you have positioned on the panel visible you must observe
the minimum values for window height and width given in brackets. The transparency
color applies to all panel bitmap elements whose transparency is active.
Please note that in adjusting the transparency color you also affect the elements with
default bitmaps, since they are based on the default option of the transparency color.
With the menu item Set grid you open a dialog in which a grid can be defined for positioning
the elements. All elements are always positioned exclusively on the grid
points of the grid. This function makes it easier for you to attain horizontal and vertical
alignment of multiple elements on the same panel.
Note: With the buttons (Undo) and (Redo) you can undo or repeat the last
actions for placing and aligning elements.
5.3 Display and Control Elements
In this chapter creating, configuring and arranging of elements is treated.
5.3.1 Creating Elements
Under the menu item Elements you will find all control and display elements (Controls),
which can be integrated into a panel.
To position an element in the panel area, first select an entry from the menu. As an
alternative you can select an icon of the toolbar. (You will see a brief description of
the icon to which the mouse cursor is pointing in the status line on the lower border of
the Panel Editor.) You can select the element's position with the curser and confirm it
with the left mouse button. After they have been inserted, it is possible to move any of
the elements on the panel. To do this, select the element with the mouse, drag it to
the new position with the mouse button pressed, and then release the mouse button
(Drag & Drop).
