Crestron Tutorial: Changing Page Properties of a Crestron
Touch Panel
Now that you have a nice clean project open
and ready to go, this is the fun part of programming Crestron
control systems. Again, I recommend that you do not begin
your touch panel design in Vision Tools Pro-e until you have
drawn out the screen(s) as you see them. This will save time
and money in the design phase.
We will continue the tutorial by changing the
background property of the Main screen that you just created.
Note that the window is the correct size and shape of what
will appear on the actual touch screen that you sellected
when you started the project.
Right click over the white window marked "Main"
(or whatever you called it).
The page properties box will appear. In the lower right of
this window is a button labelled "Select Background
Color". Click this button to reveal a color selector
pallet. This palet will contain only the colors that the specified
Crestron touch panel can produce.
I selected the color black. Click OK and the Page Properties
box will disappear to reveal that the "Main"
window has changed to the color that you selected.
There are many other neat things that you can do in the Page
Properties Window but unfortunately, they are outside of the
scope of this tutorial. Feel free to poke around before you
move on to the next topic in the tutorial. Notice how the
Page size is fixed? The maximun resolution that you can get
from a CT-1550 is 320 by 240 pixels.
