State Manager window

The State Manager is typically located along the bottom edge of the screen (although it is a dockable window and you may move it anywhere you like) and is used to view/edit the various States of a selected button. Each state of the selected button is displayed as a thumbnail image in this window.

To display the State Manager window, select View > State Manager (FIG. 363):

FIG. 363 State Manager window

The State Manager interacts with the Properties window to allow the visual aspects of a page, popup page or button to be set. Select a Page, Popup page or button to view the state or states associated with it.

Double-click on any thumbnail in the State Manager window to view/edit the properties for the selected state, in the Properties window (States tab).

The State Manager window allows the viewing and modification of individual states, and supports full Cut, Copy, Delete, Insert, Replace and Paste as well as drag and drop capabilities.

Right mouse click on any thumbnail to open the State Manager context menu, which includes options to Add single or multiple states, Replace states, Insert single or multiple states and Remove states.

NOTE: Because the thumbnails displayed in the State Manager window are scaled versions of the button images, some visual distortion may occur. This is only a result of the scaling, and does not represent distortion on the button itself.
