location

location

display location

Determines where the control panel of the module is displayed. Default control panel.

  • invisible: the object is not displayed.
  • control panel: in the control-panel of the current patch.
  • parent control panel: in the control-panel of the parent patch.
  • top parent control panel: in the control-panel of the top parent patch (main patch).
  • container: in the container of the current patch.
  • parent container: in the container of the parent patch of the current patch.
  • top parent container: in the container of the top parent patch of the current patch.
  • popup window: in the popup of the current patch.
  • top header: in the top-header-panel.
  • toolbox: in the toolbox-panel.
  • ib only: in the interface-builder-panel only.
  • workspace: in the workspace-panel design panel.
  • current rack: in the rack containing the top parent patch.
  • main menu: in the main menu panel on the left of the window.
  • container 1 to container 32: in the additional container with that number, wherever it is (see additional container). If the container does not exist, a warning is displayed.

Some modules only offer the first eight options. Top header, toolbox, ib only, popup and main menu are exclusive with also visible in interface builder: choosing one of them resets it to no with a warning.

When the location is set to a container or a popup which doesn't exist in the current sub-patch, Usine uses the container or popup of the parent patches. If none is available a warning is displayed and the location goes back to control panel.

additional container

Declares the control as an additional container, identified by a number from 1 to 32 (no = not a container, default), so that any other control of the workspace can be placed into it with display location set to the same container number. Each number can be used by only one container at a time: choosing a number already in use shows a warning and resets the setting to no.

a button inside a listbox

also visible in interface builder

Determines if the control is also displayed in the interface-builder-panel in addition to its display location. Default no. Not saved in design templates.

  • no: not shown in the interface builder.
  • always: always shown in the interface builder.
  • if patch ON: shown only while the parent patch is running (for a rack, this option reads if rack is ON).

Cannot be combined with a display location set to top header, toolbox, ib only, popup or main menu: the setting is reset to no with a warning.
