Grouping Widgets in Frames
RC5000 Setup does not have a grouping command, yet. However, you can group a number of
widgets onto one frame, which makes complex arrangements far easier to move around, copy
and paste. Here’s how to group a bunch of widgets into a frame.
1. Add a frame to the panel. Change it’s background to white so that it will be invisible.
This is the PARENT.
2. Copy a widget you would like to have grouped in the frame.You can copy from the
Gallery, the same panel or another panel.
3. Click on the P
ARENT frame to select it.
4. Choose Paste from the Edit Menu.
The widget will appear in the top left corner of the frame.This is the C
HILD.
5. Move the C
HILD widget into position within the boundaries of the PARENT frame.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for all the other widgets you’d like to have in this group.
These are the S
IBLINGS of the CHILD widget.
Once you’ve finished arranging things inside your PARENT frame, you can move, copy and paste
the entire group, by selecting the P
ARENT frame.
Working With Parents, Children and Siblings
Sometimes you try to select a widget with a mouse click and you can’t. That’s because you’ve
unknowingly selected a parent and now can’t select a child.There are several ways to deal with
this.
1. You can press the ESC key to release the “parent” selection before trying to select again.
Pressing ESC will always deselect the current selection.
2. Press the TAB key to select the next sibling of the selected button or frame. Hold down
the SHIFT key while pressing the TAB key to select the previous sibling of the selected
button or frame.
3. Use the Select Sub-Menu in the Panel Menu or the Panel context menu.
