Figure 6-2 . CCControl properties define the minimum and maximum sizes of a CCControl node
Preferred size should have been named minimum size , because it determines the smallest
possible size of a control—in this case, the button. Correspondingly, Max size determines
the maximum size, unless it is set to 0 to allow the button's size to grow without limits.
These settings are mainly useful for buttons whose title will change programmatically be-
cause a button's size grows and shrinks with the size of the label printed on it.
User Interaction Enabled should be self-explanatory. If unchecked, the button will not re-
spond to touches or clicks unless user interaction is enabled programmatically by setting
the userInteractionEnabled property to YES. All nodes inherit this property from
CCResponder , which controls whether the node's custom class will receive touch and ac-
celerometer events.
CCButton Properties
The CCButton properties is where you need to apply some editing love. Above all, the
Title should reflect what the button does; change it to PAUSE as seen in Figure 6-3 .
Ignore the Localize check box for now, it will be explained in the “Labels & Localization”
chapter.
