Defining the Set Bit Cursor Point Character and Display Field

The Set Bit Cursor Point object consists of a cursor point character
and a display field. By default the Set Bit Cursor Point object uses a
small arrow as the cursor character.

Note: You can change the attributes of the cursor as you would any
other text character. For example, you could increase the size of the
arrow by selecting another font from the Format menu. See
Chapter 9, Creating Objects, in the PanelBuilder 1400e
Configuration Software for Windows User Manual
.

To define the Set Bit Cursor Point character:

1. Create the Set Bit Cursor Point object.

2. Choose Text from the Objects menu, or

from the toolbar.

3. Position the I-beam to the immediate left of the arrow on the Set

Bit Cursor Point. Use the Delete key to delete the arrow.

4. To use a character from the keyboard, type that character. You can

type only one character. To use a character from the extended
character set, hold down the Alt key while you enter the
character’s ASCII code on the numeric keypad. See Appendix B,
The Extended Character Set, in the PanelBuilder 1400e
Configuration Software for Windows User Manual
for more
information.

You can use text or a graphic image as the Set Bit Cursor Point
display.

To define the Set Bit Cursor Point display field:

1. Create the Set Bit Cursor Point object.

2. Type the text you want to see associated with the cursor point, or

import and place a graphic image in the display.

You can position the display on another area of the screen, instead
of next to the character.

If you do not want a display with the cursor point, remove the
border and change the field’s background color to the screen
color. This will make the field disappear.
