Upgrading to TextButton Professional             

The expected upgrade path to TextButton Professional is from TextButton 4.2. In this case, two minor alterations to your existing HTML code will be needed to preserve the current behavior of the applet:

  1. Your current URL and Target parameters must be renamed to URL1 and Target1.

  2. If you opted to use a BgImage in TextButton 4.2, you must add the FocusImage and PressedImage parameters, with the same image specified in their values. Otherwise the image will disappear when the button is focussed or clicked.
Other additions to TextButton Professional may be implemented or ignored as you choose. In brief, these are:

  1. Addition of 3 further URLs and Targets per button, using the parameters URL2, URL3, URL4, Target2, Target3 and Target4.

  2. Addition of ButtonPressedColor parameter, allowing up to 3 stages of button-color.

  3. Addition of SoundButtonEnter and SoundButtonExit parameters adding two extra stages of sound response.

  4. Addition of ScaleImages parameter, giving the choice between scaling images to match applet dimensions, or placing them centrally within the applet area.

  5. Addition of FocusImage and PressedImage parameters, allowing up to three-stage image response.

  6. Addition of right value to the Align parameter to allow right-alignment.

  7. Addition of TopMargin, LeftMargin and RightMargin parameters for total layout control.

  8. Addition of FocusLabel and PressedLabel, allowing the button's text to change in response to mouse focus and click.

  9. Addition of ButtonBevel, allowing a 3D button's bevel to be increased from its default single-pixel width to whatever size you choose.

  10. Addition of FontOverStyle and FontDownStyle which allow the style of the font used for the button label to change according to mouse movement and clicks.
