RE: Menu Buttons

Hi Ruben,

 

No, you are the first one to respond. What I need to be able to do is
call a function that selects program information from a table for the
program to be executed when the button is clicked and display it to a
window. 

 

I don't know if this would accomplish what I am after unless I could get
the data and then format it into a string to manipulate the comment. The
only problem I can see with this is that the user would see this
everytime the mouse hovered over the button. Currently we do an F9 on
the menu option to display this information.

 

Thank you for the suggestion,

Jean

Jean,

 

Did you ever get a response to this.  An approach you could take is to
use DOM manipulation to alter the comment attribute of the bt1, bt2, bt3
etc action so that when the user hovers the mouse over the button the
comment appears that would give the user the information you want.

	Hi,

	 

	I am working on changing our application menu from an input
array to buttons on a form. One thing I have done is to create a form
with the following:

	  

	BUTTON aa0 : bt1, TEXT="None",                            

	                     SIZEPOLICY=fixed;                       

	  BUTTON aa1 : bt2, TEXT="None",                           

	                     SIZEPOLICY=fixed;                       

	  BUTTON aa2 : bt3, TEXT="None",                            

	                     SIZEPOLICY=fixed;                       

	 

	Then I created a function with a menu, see the code below. I am
hiding buttons that are not being used.  This works fine, when I click
on a button it allows me to got the next menu options or select a
program to run. 

	 

	In the current program there is a function that when you press
"F9" a window displays showing the program information, name, path, etc.
Is there a way I set the focus on the Button, so if a user right clicks
on the button that the program window will be displayed.

	 

	Or is there another approach to this problem?

	 

	Thanks,

	Jean Gidcumb
