Screen Designer

The Screen Designer panel allows you to set some defaults for the Screen Designer (see Working with Screen Programs and File Layouts for more information on this tool).

When the "Show only supported features in WD2" option is checked, the properties that are not supported by WD2 are not shown in the Properties view and the controls that are not supported by WD2 are not shown in the Component Palette. This happens in the new screens that you create. If you open an existing screen that contains some components not supported by WD2, then these components are not modifiable, you can only delete them.

When you save these settings, the IDE asks if you want to apply the changes to the programs already created in the project. This behavior can be configured in the Preferences. See Setting Screen Designer preferences for details.

These settings are applied to Screen Programs as well as Screens.
