Parts Button Properties dialog box
|
This property dialog box is used to set or change the pin connection information of buttons, which are one of the connection parts in the I/O Panel window.
Input to the simulator can be done from pin-connected buttons in the Simulation mode.
There are two types of button display styles, figure and bitmap. These styles can be changed on the [[Style] tab].
