Show displays in grayscale

You can set displays to appear in grayscale, especially for developing applications that
will run on the PanelView Plus grayscale terminals. When Show Displays in Grayscale is
checked (on the View menu), all open displays will change from full color to grayscale.
When Show Displays in Grayscale is cleared, all open displays will appear in color.

Show Displays in Grayscale does not work in Test Application mode.

Third party ActiveX objects will not appear in grayscale if Show Displays in Grayscale is
checked.

Use the grid

To size and position objects precisely, use the grid. You can change the grid settings at any
time during the drawing process.

The grid can be active or passive. When the grid is active, all the objects you draw or
position are pulled to the closest grid point. This makes it easy to align and size objects.
When the grid is passive, it is visible but does not affect the position of your objects.

Make the grid passive to position an element between the grid lines. Make the grid active,
and the next object you draw or place is automatically aligned with the grid. Making the
grid active does not affect the placement of existing objects.

The grid is visible during application development only. It is not visible at run time.
