Individual Controls Explained

Common Properties

All Controls in Vertex come with a basic set of properties. They can be accessed in their inspector’s Main tab.

common-properties_zoom90

Location X

X coordinate of the Control

Location Y

Y coordinate of the Control

Size W

Width of the Control

Size H

Height of the Control

Note: ControlViews are working in a “top-left” mode. Thus a 0/0 coordinate of a control describes the upper-left corner of your ControlView.

The position- and scale-pivot of every control is also in its own upper left corner, while it's rotation pivot is in its center.

 

Enable

Activates/deactivates the functionality of the Control. Once disables, the Control will not be click-able by the user, but it will remain control-able via Scripting!

Lock Position

If activated, the position and scale handles inside the ControlView editor will not be accessible to prevent unintentionally redesign of the Control. Location- and Size-Properties in the inspector as well as Scripting is still activated to change the position and scaling.

Visible

If deactivated, the Control will be hidden and can not be accessed /clicked in ControlView Run-Mode anymore. Controls that have been placed behind the hidden control will become visible and click-able! Although the Control is hidden, it can still be accessed and controlled via Scripting!

To create an invisible (but control-able) Control, see property “Opacity”!

Fixed

Options: None, Background, Foreground

This feature is made for ControlViews with multiple Pages. Design elements (like Borders, Images, Labels etc.) or Controls (page navigation, Master Volume fader etc.) can be made visible and/or accessible from all pages of your ControlView.

-If “Background” is selected from the dropdown menu, the Control will remain present on all ControlViews pages, but will be orientated in the background (behind the other pages own controls)

-If “Foreground” is selected from the dropdown menu, the Control will remain present on all ControlViews pages, but will be orientated in the foreground (in front of other pages own controls)

-If “None” is selected from the dropdown menu, the Control will only be present on its individual page

 

Opacity

Opacity value of the Control. If the Opacity is set to 0, the Control will not be visible, but will remain fully control-able by the user. Use this for invisible control-overlays.

To create an invisible (and not control-able) Control, see property “Visible”!

Rotation

Rotation of the Control.

ToggleButton1

 

ToggleButton2

 

 

The ToggleButton has two states. It can be active/On (Value=1) or inactive(Off (Value=0). Depending on it’s state it uses a specific set of Caption- and Style-Properties as well as executes a specific Script when clicked.

For information on Properties, see “ClickButton”. Properties are almost the same. Most of them are existing twice – once for each state of the ToggleButton. “ScriptCode”, “Down Script” and “Hold Script”. “Hold Time”, “Status Indicator”, “Show Mouse Over Frame” and “Mouse Over Color” are not available for ToggleButtons.

To remotely switch On/Off a ToggleButton via scripting (and to execute the ToggleButtons “On/Off Script”, use the scripts:
