Overview

 

Styles are used by MCL-Designer V4 to determine the appearance of the different controls that can be added to the screen.

Each control, displayed on the screen, can have a style of its own.

There can be exceptions, for instance, the Display Image control does not have styles. You can check whether a control has a style or not by looking at the Style Preview section (below the buttons that represent each control) - if you select a control and the corresponding Style Preview section is empty, it means that control does not require any styles.

 

Example of Style

 

Two instances of a same control can look completely different on the screen because they use separate styles.

 

 

Since each control has its own defining features, the subject-matter of editing the style of a control will be dealt with in the following topics:
