portal empty row click

[jklm]

hi, i have a "portal" which shows related records from other table fine. now, let's my "portal" has 10 rows. because of relationship it shows let's say 5 rows with information and other 5 are empty. now, in order to go to directly to the related record on each row, i have created a button with the same color as portal's background. i put there a script to open the related record. but i also wanted to do smth when the empty rows are clicked... please can you give some ideas how is it possible? i just want to be able to do smth when the empty rows of portal are clicked... thanks a lot!!!!

What exactly ?

For example to run a script which will show a custom dialog. Thanks in advance!

i have created a button with the same color as portal's background.

If you change the color of that button ( not the same as portal's background ), could you see that button into the empty rows ?

Nope I cannot see it. But the cursor changes as if it is on a button.

But the cursor changes as if it is on a button.

Yes, it does - for no good reason. There is NOTHING in an empty portal row - no record, no fields, no button. `You cannot click on nothing and have something happen.

I believe the most you could do with a portal is to have the FIRST empty row clickable.

For example to run a script which will show a custom dialog.

If it's good for you to show a text tooltip instead of a custom dialog, you could enter this text into a portal's tooltip:

"Clicking an empty row doesn't do anything"

Note that the message will appear only overing an empty row.

BTW: using an event plugin you could even fire a script using the tooltip.
