This sample shows how you can grey out the next / previous button when there is no next or previous record.

This also shows the use of a custom function to help clean up your scripts & calculations

Hi Stephen,

I am curious what function in 7 would be used to greyed out these buttons.

I played with this theory a while back with 5 here

The transparent graphics were ugly, but is that easier in 7 ?

Just curious

I like both of these ideas. The nice thing about Stephen's text buttons is the simplicity in scripting, especially with the custom functions.

FP7 allows you to change text formatting. So that means you can CHANGE any font characteristics - even the font itself.

I too have done similar things w/ fp5 but you usually have to create extra fields extra calcs and then stack them up on the layout. - truly a pain.

How do I download it!!??

I'm on OS 9 here...

it just downloads 'download.php' which is useless!

(I am normally a PC user...)

thanks.

Nice sample. One suggestion/question? Is it possible to change the script to "do nothing" when the text dims, and to restore the action when the button becomes functional again... In this way the button wont even hilight if the text is dimmed? (More akin to a truly disabled button)

Control Click or Right click if you have two mice buttons, Save as Previous and Next, then OK... should save as a ZipFile for you...did for me.
