Scene Display manager

[jgu1]

Hi!

When I use dsplaymanager I have 2 scene, scene0 and scene1, if add a new scene the name is scene, do I again add one more scene the name is now scene3?
I have tryed to rename the scene without luck, is this possible?
And let´s say I not want to use scene1 anymore how do I delete this without set the display count to one an start from the beginnig again?

Thank´s in advance
Jorgen

Hi Jorgen,

The display creator scenes can be renamed using the Panels tab of the project explorer pane. Just right click on the scene you wish to rename and type in the new name. This will automatically roll through to the Display Manager component property.

e.g. you could have scenes named Scene_Home, Scene_Menu, Scene_FanControl etc...

If you reduce the SceneCount property of the Display Manager then it will not delete any of the scenes from the project, it will just allow you to pick from the existing scenes. Any scenes that you do not want can be deleted again using the Panels tab of the project explorer pane.

Let us know how you're getting on, I'm quite happy with how this feature turned out but like most new things it's easy to use for me because I helped design it and so I might be blind to some of the pitfalls.

John has recently done a couple of new videos on the system which may be of use.

I might also make some videos aimed more at introducing the display creator system and getting started with it.

Hi Ben

Thank you very much, Ben, for the information. I will test it and get back to you.

Yes, I am currently learning to work with Display Manager. Compared to how I previously built projects using an ILI display and the XPT2046 touch controller, Display Manager makes it much faster to create touch projects with text fields and buttons that perform different actions. That said, you do need to find the “common thread” in how everything fits together.

I have watched all of John’s material and gone through everything available on Display Manager, including Graph Creator and related resources. One thing I feel could be beneficial—possibly for others as well—would be a video example that starts completely from scratch using Display Manager and clearly demonstrates all its advantages.

Edit. I just noticed that you replied to my other question as well.

Have a nice weekend.

Jorgen
