iRidium supports processing of stream video in the H.264, MJPG formats. Such stream can be output on any graphic item of the interface similarly to a standard image.

See information about setting up video in iRidium here.

If you created a script module assigned to a particular project popup or page (for example, the one displaying the weather or currency exchange rate), you can save the module with the page to Gallery.

In order to do that open Gallery, select the page, press on the Alt key and drag the page from the Project Overview window to Gallery.

You will see the dialog window for selecting the script file which you should save with the page. You can use such an object in your project.

If you want to display all graphic item of the project and not only pages and popups mark the Show Items In Tree field in the tab

Tools > Options > Showing

If you can select a group of popups in your project which can never be shown together such popups can be considered mutex.
They can be placed in Popup Group for convenience, It allows you to open only one of the popups in the group at a time and closes all the previous one automatically.

Popup Group is available in the Projects Overview window. See more information here.

URL (Universal Resource Locator) is a universal indicator of the resource which is used for ativating some application, service or some other action on the control panel. URL are different for different OS.

They are used differently on Windows, iOS, Android. The most popular way of using URL-schemes is opening hyperlinks in the window of the standard browser.

See information about using URL-schemes on different OS here.

It is any project page which will automatically open if the user doesn't do anything with the project for some time. It is activated in the project settings.

See more information here.

iRidium projects can contain pages with different orientation which are "alternative" to each other.

The selection of which page to show is made by the client application and depends on the position of the control panel. When you turn the control panel, the project also turns.

See information about setting up pages with different orientation here.

It is a set of graphic items which allows the user to choose only one of the preset range of options.

Switchers of this type are joined in groups of two or three items. There is no any separate graphic item type for creating Radio Buttons. They are synchronized with each other via the common project variable - Project Token which stores the current state if the group and sends it to each item of the group.

You can see the example of creating Radio Buttons for creating the project menu here.

System properties of your PC or tablet computer with running iRidium can be displayed in the visualization project. There are special variable for that - System Tokens.

They can be accessed via the Project Device Panel tab in GUI Editor. System Tokens are available for reading only (but some of them, for example screen brightness, can be changed). If you add them as feedback channels on project items you will be able to display the current time, date, network status, GPS and many other properties.

See more information here.

There are Buttons with two states in standard iRidium Gallery (folder iRidium > Buttons).

All of them are blue by default. But it's not their constant value. The color can be changed depending on the project style. It can be done with the help of Chameleon Image - and image with changeable color. The color of Button with Chameleon Image will correspond to the color selected for the Button border or filling. Thus, by changing the color of the Button border you change the color of Chameleon Image.

See more information here.

You can add your images in the project by dragging them in Editor Workspace (on the project page) from any folder. Import of images to Gallery is available in the right-click menu in Gallery (Import File, Import Folder).

See more information here.

Items with more than two states are considered animated.

They can play frame animation activated by different events in the system. Such items can be created from separate frames and added in Gallery of GUI Editor combining all frames in one object.

See more information here.

Use hot keys (not to select the text editing field manually):

• F2 - edit the text in State 1 of the item
• Shift+F2 - edit the text in All States of the item

A ready project (for example, for iPad) can be resized for another device (if automatic resize of the project on the panel does not work for you).
You can do it by changing the resolution in the settings of the ready project. Project > Project Properties > project size.

If it is necessary to merge two projects or add a script module you can use the special merge function. It enables transfer of all pages, drivers and scripts of one project to another saving relations between commands and items.

Items of the merged projects do not overlay and substitute each other. To enable the merge make sure there are no pages, drivers, script modules with same names (rename them).

When merging projects with different resolutions the size of the subsidiary project will be changed to the size of the main one.

See the video >>

If you created a device with a set of commands and feedback channels in one project and want to transfer it to another project you can use the special import function. It is available in the GUI Editor menu

File > Import

Go to the import menu, select the project file in the irpz format (or another available format) where you want to transfer the tree of devices from and confirm the import.

As a result you will receive the list of drivers of the imported project. Mark the ones you want to transfer to the new project. Press ОК.
New drivers will be added without substituting the drivers in the new project.

Download of the Global Cache data base offline is not possible. It is an on-line tool.

iRidium projects compatible if they are created in version that starts at the same figure.
For example project created in 2.0.x can be started with 2.2.x.
But the project created with 1.5.12 cannot be started with 2.x.x version.

Open GUI Editor, go to the menu

Tools > Options > Emulator > License Path [...]
