Example - Setting up a Touch Phone Application with Noticeboard

Using Noticeboard, you can easily create a "feel" with any object in mind for your user to interact with. For familiarity, we uses a Touch Phone as an example.

In this example, we are just going to create a single button ( right ) on the desktop and it will bring up the Touch Phone App ( left ) with a touch. We will show you how quickly you can create the App using Notice Board.

Before we start, we have already prepared all the necessary graphic files, so the remainding task would be simply to drag and drop these files into the library, name and link it together and finally creating a single button "Type Window" to launch the App.

This is how it will feel like when you interact with the App, here we are going to show you some linkages and how the touches are nested. With Noticeboard, you can setup as many layers as you required, there is no limit.

Creating the button by adding a Window as shown above and drop the phone icon to use as button.

Next, click the tool icon for the Touch Area to create your object background and space to accomodate your App items.

Here are are using a single background, close and exit images as the object in display. You can use one or more images for your background but limited to one image each for "close" and "exit". Or, you can choose to use a single image to represent "close" and "exit".

Done. Now we save the project. Next we will have to create the library items first, before we are able to link the button to the library.

Create and populate the library. First, drop the "Top" menu items and save the library with a name before you try to link the touches, otherwise it will default to name "Noticeboard".

Link the items as follows.

When it is done. Open your main project, assign the button to the Top Menu (phonemenu) by typing the library name and menu name in the Touch property or simply drag and drop from the library.
