jhomer Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Currently I have a calculated container field which shows a button icon if the status of a request is "open" and is set to nothing if the request status is in any other condition. Im not really happy with the way the button looks... is there a different way to go about this situation possibly without using a container?

Fitch Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Perhaps the graphic is being resized to fit the field? If so, you can make it look better by creating a button that is the correct size, and set the field's graphic options to crop rather than resize. As for alternatives, you could use a container that's behind your other objects so that the background color changes based on status; or you could use text field and change the color, style etc. to indicate status.

Søren Dyhr Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I would make a dish'y looking button with native vektorized lines and boxes, and around it draw a visibility-trick portal: http://www.filemakerpros.com/MoreVis.zip --sd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhomer Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 Thanks for the tips. I was really hoping for a "hide layout object" type trick... wouldnt that be nice... It's just gettin tedious using conditional calculated fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Søren Dyhr Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Well you could make an invisible two tabbed interface, and switch it by script! Jikes, you're on fm7 so this is no go! --sd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
