change layout color

[Raymond Gonzalez]

Hello! i have a "sex" field with a "m/f" radio button. Is there a way that when i click on "m" the color of the tab where it is will change to blue and when i click on "f" it will change to pink? Thanks!

You can have a calculation field with a container result display a global graphic of a pink or blue image.

In other words you could do the following:

1. Create an image by drawing a rectangle etc to the size of the tab. Color one pink and the other blue.

2. Create a global container field (gBkgnd) with two repetitions and then copy and paste each image into each repetition of the global field.

3. Create a calculation field with container result that does something like this.

Case (sex = "m"; gBkgnd; gBkgnd [2])

4. Resize the calculation field and put it on your tab, then move to the back of all the fields and objects on the tab.

Does this work with FMP 6 as well? I'm trying to get this to work but maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Gender. A person's gender is male or female.

"Sex" is what people "do" with their "gender". ;-)
