Adding buttons

Buttons are resources whose frame types make them act in a special way.

The two buttons most commonly used are Text and Bin.

To make a button, first import a suitable graphic (or create some text). Double click on the graphic or text to show the Frame Properties dialogue box, then select the required function (eg Bin.mwb or TextButton20Pt.mwb) from the drop down menu.

When you click on a resource set to be a TextButton in browser mode, a text dialogue box opens .

Use this to create new text. You can also pick up existing text and drop it on a TextButton to edit it.

Any moveable object or text object can be removed from the screen by picking it up and placing the mouse pointer over the Bin, then clicking once.

NB. Removing an object from the screen cannot be undone.
