Widget "MotionPad" is used as a text editor for CNC programs.
It is possible to debug a CNC program using the widget (execute program, display current line, etc.). For a description of how the widget must be configured, see Debugging a CNC program.
To use this widget, library MpServer must be present on the target system. "MpServer" is used for internal communication. For more information, see here.
The MpFileManager configuration must be used for this widget. A mapp Link does not need to be specified; the connection between widget and configuration is created automatically!
|
For an explanation about how to use widget "MotionPad" in combination with the MpFileManager configuration, see "Getting started" tutorial Creating a text editor for CNC programs in mapp View. |

zIndex determines the z-order of the widget. With overlapping widgets, the zIndex determines which widget is on the top and which one is on the bottom. The widget with the larger zIndex is on top, and the one with the smaller zIndex is on the bottom. The zIndex must be unique within a piece of content or a container widget. The zIndex is automatically assigned by the visual editor and can therefore be changed via the toolbar. |
