7 Soft Buttons

This chapter describes how to use the soft buttons.

Introduction

A set of soft buttons are provided which can be programmed to perform a wide variety of functions when clicked. By default they are displayed at the bottom of the TeemTalk window.

There are four soft button levels. Each level consists of twelve buttons providing a combined total of 48 programmable buttons. You can display all four levels at the same time if required. All levels are accessible even if not all are displayed, levels stored off-screen can be 'scrolled' into view by clicking the Level # button.

The button below the Level # button on each level cannot be programmed, but it has two uses. It can be used to scroll through the available levels in reverse order, and you can specify text to be displayed on it as a label describing the buttons on that level.

You can detach the soft buttons so that they are displayed in a separate window either by clicking the Restore Down button above the top-right soft button, or by unchecking the Attached to the window option in the Soft Button Settings dialog.

To re-attach the soft buttons to the TeemTalk window, either double-click on the title bar of the Soft Buttons window, or select the Attached to the window option in the Soft Button Settings dialog.

You can remove the soft buttons from the display either by selecting Windows > Soft Buttons from the View menu so that it is unchecked, or in the Soft Button Settings dialog by setting the Visible Levels option to 0.

To re-display the soft buttons, either select Windows > Soft Buttons from the View menu so that it is checked, or in the Soft Button Settings dialog, set the Visible Levels option to any number other than 0.
