iNomads Classes

You can apply a pre-defined iNomads class to a panel header or a panel control in the control's properties window within NOMADS.

A pre-defined iNomads class can also be added to Themes and Visual Classes.

(The ability to apply an iNomads class to panel headers and controls was added in PxPlus 2016.)
(The ability to add an iNomads class in both Themes and Visual Class Maintenance was added in PxPlus 2020.)

A list of pre-defined iNomads classes is shown below, consisting of the name of the iNomads class, the control types to which that class can be applied, and the effect of that class on the control in iNomads.

Important Note:
The name of the iNomads class must be entered in the case shown below.

The iNomads classes that start with link_ are reserved for special Web-style buttons, and their names should not be modified. Only the link_ classes defined below can be used (e.g. link_button is not a valid iNomads class).
