Configuring the Multistate Indicator
To configure the Multistate Indicator:
1. Select the object. Choose Configure Screen Object... from the
Edit menu or on the toolbar.
The Configure Multistate Indicator dialog box appears.
2. In the Name field, type Stapler .
You’ll notice that you can specify the object’s number of states in
this dialog box. The default number is four. Because this is the
number of states you want, you won’t need to change it.
3. Choose Edit States.
The Configure State Values dialog box appears. If you wanted to,
you could assign different values to the states. In this case, accept
the defaults.
