Description:

The Region object is located in the COMMON CONTROLS section of the CONTROL LIBRARY and is similar to the Rectangle object. 

A binary parameter such as mute can be bound to it, and on/off states can be set to different colors. 

When this panel is launched, the region changes states according to the status of the mute.

The unique feature of the Region object is its ability to have the Page Flip parameter assigned.

In this example, a control panel page has been created with a venue map using shape objects. 

Three additional pages have also been created for individual rooms, each with its own volume control and color coding corresponding to its respective room on the site map.

Add a Region object to the UI DESIGN workspace and adjust its size to match the rooms on the map. 

Set the Button Type to Momentary.

Make the color and border transparent for both states of the region. 

The border can also be disabled. 

Next, drag the Page Flip parameter from the Parameters Tree to the Region object. 

The Page Flip is now visible in the Parameter Bindings section of the right pane, and the associated page can be selected from the drop-down menu, Yoga in this case. 

In this example file, all rooms are the same size, so the object can be copied and pasted for the other rooms. 

Overlay the Region objects on top of the rooms.

 Ensure the Page Flip parameter is changed to the appropriate rooms for each Region object.

Launch the panel to verify functionality.  Clicking on the Yoga area, which is the hidden Region object, navigates to the Yoga control page. 

The Back buttons are configured to return to the home page.

The other Regions navigate to their respective control pages.
