Solo Frame

A Solo Frame is almost exactly the same kind of a container as a normal Frame in that can hold various widgets and other frames inside. However, the difference with Solo Frame is that it treats any Buttons inside it differently by allowing only one button to be enabled at a time. For example, consider you have Button A and Button B inside a Solo Frame with Button A currently enabled. Next, you click button Button B which automatically results in Button A being released, leaving now only Button B enabled.

Configuration

Solo Frames can be configured with the properties button found in the toolbar or by double clicking the solo frame itself.

Other than the standard styling & placement options, Solo Frames have every frame additional options:

  • Frame name: Allow you to assign an arbitrary label to the Solo Frame. This will be displayed only when the "Show header" option is enabled (see below).
  • Accept child widgets: Allows you to add widgets to the Solo Frame.
  • Allow resizing: Allow the Solo Frame height and width to be changed.
  • Show header: Display a useful header composed of a button and a label. The button allows you to expand/collapse the Solo Frame, which can save a lot of Virtual Console space. The label will display the name of the Frame.

And one other specific option:

  • Mix sliders in playback mode: When this option is enabled, the sliders in playback mode are allowed to be enabled at the same time. When moving a slider up, instead of instantly cancelling the other running sliders, it will fade them out at the same speed you are fading it up.
