Title: Removing Jog Controls flyout
Post by: ksangus on June 06, 2010, 09:19:42 PM

I'm designing a very simple screen which will include the various Jog buttons, so I won't need the Jog Controls flyout, normally brought up using TAB. How do I remove it and make sure TAB does nothing to my new screen?

For more complex projects I might want to add other screens on flyouts like Jog. The Jog Controls are on screen 50 - how many screens can I have, and how do I add new ones with numbers above 15? And then how do I make them toggle with TAB, or some other key?

Tab toggles screen 50. If you don't want TAB to do anything, don't use screen 50. If you want to toggle other screens, you''ll need to do it with VB code. It won't work exactly the same, though. You'd really just be changing screens, and then going back to a previous one. Screen 50 is the only one that'll flyout.

To add screens, just choose the # from a drop down list. There are 99 available.
