• How to use sticky buttons

By default, when you hide a menu, whichever button was “Activated” (ie. clicked so it goes to its activated state) returns to its Normal state when the menu next appears on screen.  DoStudio includes an innovative feature called Sticky Button Groups that make it possible to keep buttons in their activated state when the menu hides. A sticky button is a button that does not return to its Normal state when the menu hides.  If it is in its Activated state when the menu hides, it retains its activated state when it appears on screen again.  A sticky button group is a group of buttons in which one of the buttons will retain its activated state.  This feature is useful for audio and subtitle setup menus because it gives the viewer visual feedback about which audio or subtitle track was last activated.

1. Display the Menu Elements window by clicking the menu Elements tab.
2. Click the button “AudioEnglish” in the Bonus menu to display its properties in the Control Panel.
3. Use the Sticky Button pull down list to select “Audio Track”.

This adds the “AudioEnglish” button to the “Audio Track” sticky button group.  Now we’ll add the “AudioFrench” and “AudioGerman” buttons to the same sticky button group.

4. Click the button “AudioFrench” in the Bonus menu to display its properties in the Control Panel.
5. Use the Sticky Button pull down list to select “Audio Track”.
6. Click the button “AudioGerman” in the Bonus menu to display its properties in the Control Panel.
7. Use the Sticky Button pull down list to select “Audio Track”.
