Reordering States On a Button
Changing the order of states in a Multi-State General or Multi-State Bargraph button can be accomplished either through the clipboard or by drag-and-drop:
Reordering States Via the Clipboard
- In the State Manager window, select the states to be moved.
- Ctrl + click to select multiple states individually.
- Shift + click to select a range of states.
- Cut the selected states to the clipboard (Ctrl-X).
- If the states are to be moved to the end of the collection, ensure that no states are currently selected in the State Manager (click anywhere outside of a state thumbnail, or press ESC). Then, paste the states from the clipboard by selecting Edit > Paste, State Manager Context Menu > Paste, or Ctrl-V.
- If the states are to be moved elsewhere in the collection, first left-click to select the state prior to which the new states will be inserted. Then insert the states from the clipboard by selecting Edit > Insert, State Manager Context Menu > Insert, or
Ctrl-V.
Reordering States Via Drag-and-Drop
A simplified alternative to using the clipboard to reorder states is to use drag-and-drop.
- Select the states to be moved.
- Ctrl + click to select multiple states individually.
- Shift + click to select a range of states.
- Press and hold the left mouse button while over one of the selected states. While continuing to press the left mouse button, move the mouse to the location where the states will be moved. If the states are to be moved to the end of the collection, drag the states beyond the last state. If they are to be moved elsewhere in the collection, drag the states over the space between state thumbnails where they will be moved.
- Release the left mouse button (the same operation can also be performed with a right mouse button drag-and-drop, selecting "Move…" from the drag-and-drop menu).
