Exit allows you to exit and save the object, save the object only, or exit
without saving the object.
The following section describes how to use the various options.
Move and Size
Use the Move and Size menu to define an object’s position and size, and to
assign function keys to buttons.
IMPORTANT: Not every Object has a Move and Size menu. For
example, the Cursor List object only has a Move menu.
To Move an Object
1. Choose Move from the Move & Size menu. The cursor blinks in the
top right corner of the object.
2. Use the arrow keys to position the object. If you are designing a
screen for a Touch Screen terminal, remember that push buttons only
move in units that match the touch cells (by eight horizontally and by
two vertically).
3. When the object is in place, press Enter, or press Esc to return to the
original location on the screen.
To Size an Object
1. Choose Size from the Move & Size menu. The cursor blinks on the
object being edited, and the object’s size is shown in the top right
corner of the monitor.
2. Use the arrow keys to set the object’s size. The bottom right corner of
the object stretches or shrinks, while the top left corner stays still.
For notes on creating buttons for a Touch Screen terminal, refer to the
section Buttons and Touch Screen Terminals later in this chapter.
3. When the object is the correct size, press Enter, or press Esc to
restore the button to its original size.
Assigning Function Keys (Keypad terminals only):
1. Choose Function Key from the Move & Size menu.
