Programming Static Text in PicoSoft Pro
1. Hold down the left mouse button to drag the Static text screen element
onto the screen.
2. Place the mouse over the Static text screen element, hold down the left
mouse button and drag the screen element to the required position.
3. Enter the required text in the Static text tab and select the language to
which the text is to be assigned.
You define the available languages in the Languages tab of the Screen
overview. These languages apply to the text elements of all screens.
The height of the element frame adjusts itself to the font size – either normal
or double font size. You can change the font size by activating the context
menu (right mouse button) or by dragging the selection handle at the bottom
edge of the element frame concerned. When changing to double font size,
ensure that there is sufficient space available underneath the element.
The width of the element can be adjusted as required. You can set the size
required by holding down the left mouse button and dragging a selection
handle of the element frame. When applicable, ensure that the elements
provide sufficient space in all languages. This can be checked easily in the
screen overview.
The following examples explain the function of Static text:
