Screen Operations

Chapter 8

8-2

Copy Screen To: makes a copy of the selected screen. You type in a

screen number for the new screen, but the screen name remains the
same. Once you have typed in the new screen number and pressed
Enter, you are asked whether you want to copy object addresses. If you
choose Yes, the addresses of the screen objects are copied to the new
screen; if you choose No, you will have to assign addresses to the
objects.

Rename Screen To: allows you to change the name of the selected

screen by typing in a new one.

IMPORTANT: Two screens may have the same name, but never the same
number.

Copying a Screen from One Application File to Another

The Copy Screen To function described above copies a screen within an
application file, but not from one application to another. Copying a screen
to another application file involves memorizing all of the screen objects,
and then recalling them on a different screen of the other application file:

1.

Open a screen for editing.

2.

Choose Memorize, then group all of the objects on the screen into a
single group.

3.

Press Enter and then select whether to memorize the objects’
addresses.

4.

Leave the screen and the application file. Do not quit PanelBuilder.

5.

Create or select the application file you want to copy to.

6.

Create or select the screen you want to copy to, and open the screen
for editing.

7.

Choose Recall. The memorized objects will appear on the new
screen.

IMPORTANT: You cannot copy a screen from a touch screen application
file to a keypad application file or vice-versa.
