Replacing States

There are two ways to replace states in a multi-state button:

Replacing States From the Clipboard

1. Select a multi-state button in the Design View.
2. In the State Manager window, select the source state(s).
   • Hold down the Ctrl key while left-clicking to add states to the selection.
   • Hold down the Shift key while left-clicking to add a range of states to the selection.
3. Select Copy from the Edit menu or the State Manager Context Menu, or press Ctrl-C.
4. Select the multi-state button whose states will be replaced.
5. Select the destination states.
6. Select Paste from the Edit menu or the State Manager Context Menu, or press Ctrl-V.
   • If the number of destination states is equal to the number of source states, the destination states are replaced one-for-one from the clipboard.
   • If the number of destination states is less than the number of source states, the destination states are replaced one-for-one until all have been replaced, with remaining source states being unused.
   • If the number of destination states is greater than the number of source states, the destination states are replace one-for- one until all source states have been used, at which point replacing will start again at the beginning of the source states until all destination states have been replaced.

Replacing States via Drag-and-Drop

1. Select a multi-state button in the Design View.
2. In the State Manager window, select the source state(s).
3. Press and hold the right mouse button, and drag the mouse over the first state to be replaced.

Beginning at the state the drop occurred over, states will be replaced one-for-one until either the number of source states have been used or the end of the states collection is reached.

NOTE: The same operation can be performed with a left mouse button drag-and-drop, selecting Copy over State <#> from the State Manager Drag-and-Drop Menu.
