Copy and Pasting attributes?

[David Delaney]

I have alot of text links and I want to change all of them so that they won't change colour when highlighted - this is a tedious task of going through all of them, so is there a way of changing copying certain attributes, but keeping let's say the original actions attached to them?

Button 1 : jump page 2 - highlight when mouse is hovering
Button 2 : jump page 3 - no hightling when mouse is hovering

eg : I want to copy Button 2 attribute - no highlighting when mouse is hovering - to button 1 - but keeping Button 1's jump page 2.

For each Label object on each page of your project you can:

1. Left-click and hold down the ctrl key

2. Left-click on each label object

3. Make sure you have the Properties Inspector shown (Click Alt-V P in that order)

4. Find Highlight in the properties section

5. Click the black down-arrow (unside down black triangle) and choose a color

Finally, check to see if the changes took place for all label object's Highlight property.

Note: Find an error, not sure of the shortcut key combonations? Let me know, thank you.

Another approach... (The Template Approach -- Best utilized at the beginning of a project)

Create a (or the first) page in your project and give it a page name that will lend to what its function is (instead of the default Page1). For example, you could use Template as the page's name.

Next, add any and all objects you plan to use to the Template page (ie. Label, ListBox, Paragraph objects)

Then, set the properties for each object the way you would like them to be for every page in your project you want to have the 'Template look' have. (See: Properties Inspector for one place to set such).

When completed you will have a working and functional Template page to use in your project!

When you create more pages you must then go to that page's Settings section and in the Inherit area and choose one or the other (or both) and from what page (Hint: Template) to see the changes inacted on that page!

Now, anytime during the development of that project you can adjust the properties for the objects (and the page's properties) for the Template page which will instantly change the rest of the objects in your projects pages that are using the 'Template's' settings.
