Custom Screen

 OverviewPropertiesAdvanced

The following table contains the necessary information to manage and manipulate this screen at runtime.

Each type of control fires unique notification messages to signal what type of interaction occurred. Details about each notification message can be found in each control type's topic.

The String ID represents the text that appears on the control. You can use this ID with the Screen.GetLocalizedString action to get the appropriate text for the current language on the user's system.

Tip: All controls on this screen can exceed the defined amount of 32, however TrueUpdate's control IDs are only defined up to 32. If you want to add more than 32 of a specific control, you will need to add a numeric value to the control ID's value when you reference it. For example, to access the 33rd button, you would use CTRL_BUTTON_32 + 1, or the 34th, CTRL_BUTTON_32 + 2. String IDs can be referenced by their numbers directly.
