A QuickPad is a small window that you can load during a session. QuickPads can contain text, buttons, bitmaps, icons, and other graphic elements. The buttons and icons on QuickPads can be linked to any of the Actions available in the Select Action Dialog Box.

This dialog box shows the QuickPads displayed for the current session and enables you to create new QuickPads.

The QuickPad is displayed in the existing session and the session document is set to display the QuickPad in new sessions.

Note

  • Open Text InfoConnect Desktop supports QuickPad and toolbar files created with Extra! and earlier versions of InfoConnect. Toolbars are imported as QuickPads that open in a QuickPad window docked on the top of the session window.
