Displayables

---

All Displayables except for the Canvas may have titles and Ticker text displayed. Ticker text is animated text which scrolls across the screen. These properties may be edited in the property sheet for a displayable. In addition, the object name of the displayables may be changed in the property sheet. There are also buttons on the property sheet of displayables which will show that part in the Emulator, assuming it belongs to the active MIDlet.

Alert

An alert is a screen which displays text and possibly an icon to the user. It can be used to show warning or informational messages. Alerts may not have commands or other parts added to them.

An Alert has properties which may be specified once it is added to a project. In addition to the Title and Ticker text, the image that the Alert displays may be chosen. The text of the alert may be specified on the property sheet.

An alert may be one of five types, which may have corresponding sounds when displayed on the MIDP device.

An alert will be displayed for a specified number of milliseconds. If an alert is desired to be displayed until the user dismisses it, it can be set to display forever.
