Adding a custom help button

You can configure a button in Kiosk2Go that calls the context-sensitive help. It works in exactly the same way as the default help button, but you can customize its appearance to match the look of your project.

To add a custom help button

  1. Drag a Generic Controls device from the device tree over to the main NWare design page.
  2. Specify boolean in the Type of control(s) list.
  3. Open the Kiosk2Go Layout block and click the page where you want to add the help button.
  4. Open the Generic Controls control block, and then copy and paste the control onto the Kiosk2Go Layout device page.
  5. Right-click the control, and then click Control Properties.
  6. Click the Wiring tab.
  7. Type helpbutton in the ControlAlias box.
  8. Click OK.

    Tip: Any control can be configured to call the help. You just need to type helpbutton in the ControlAlias box.
