Using the Categories Sheet

The Categories sheet, shown in the following image, is displayed when you select the Categories tab in the Jade Skin Maintenance dialog.

The left of the Categories sheet displays the list of defined skin categories.

The lower right of the sheet displays a table of the skin entities that use the currently selected category.

As each skin is applied only to windows with a matching skin category, you can apply multiple skins to a window simultaneously. For example, you could use a picture control skin to display your company logo so that it is displayed only on picture controls that have the appropriate skin category.

To add or maintain a skin category, perform one of the following actions

To add a new skin category:
1. Click the New button if another category is selected.
2. Enter the name of the skin category in the Category Name text box or select the skin from the Category List list box.
  
  Category names must be unique.
3. Enter a description of the category in the Category Description text box, if required.
4. Click the Update button.
To update an existing skin category:
1. In the Category List list box, select the category that you want to change. The name of the selected category is then displayed in the Category Name text box.
2. Edit the appropriate data to meet your requirements. (For details, see steps b and c in the previous action.)
3. Click the Update button.
To delete an existing skin category that is not currently referenced:
1. In the Category List list box, select the skin category that you want to delete. The name of the selected category is then displayed in the Category Name text box.
2. Click the Delete button.
  
  The Delete button is disabled if the category is referenced by any window skin entry.
