Popups and Browse Windows Part V
Dialog Windows Part 1
The image above is a popup dialog from our customizable 10-field dynamic stamp.

Clusters (the frames with the text STAMP SETTINGS and Page Position)
Static Text (all the text in red, plus the text Transparency, Size, Inches from corner, the % ranges for transparency and size, and Author)

Check Box Fields (Mouse Position, Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right, Lock stamp, and Stamp every page)

For example, there is an invisible view element that holds the three elements (static text, text field, static text) pictured below:
