I'm currently working on a TP 1200 Comfort and have some issues when I try to make some nice push buttons for page navigation.

The buttons shall contain text and graphics, that's no problem.

But, is there a way to select a transparent color for the graphic placed in a button ?

Is it also possible to wrap the text in the button (Need two rows) ?

I could build up a push button background picture with my text and graphics, and put an invisible push button on top of it.

But, do I really have to do it this way ?

Working in TIA Portal V13 latest updates, but only Wincc Comfort.

Do I need a silly expensive upgrade to Pro ?

Hello Bryll,

fist: no, you don't need an upgrad to Pro, because on a Comfort Panel it would work exactly the same way.

About the button:

• To create a new line of texte simply press SHIFT+ENTER at the same time.
  You will need to do that in the other languages, too. Or you go to "Properties > Texts"  and copy the line break symbol from your multi-line text into the text of the other languages.
• No, you can't pick a colour to be invisible. But it's no gib problem to save a graphic as PNG with an invisible layer. You can use programs like GIMP to delete an existing colour or PowerPoint (or similar) to save a one graphic or a group of grapics with invisible elements.
• You could do the layers, but I don't see the need. If you do, don't forget a picture for when the button is pushed. 
  

Hello H.J.

That was an excellent answer, much appreciated.

Thanks a lot
