radiobutton frame

[Tolida]

I don't think it is possible but I like try again in this forum:

I don't want to display the frame around a radiobutton field

How to change the color (to the background for example) of the frame around a radiobutton field? or any other methode...

Tia, Tol

Do you mean the frame shown when the field is selected?

No, with this button field there is always a frame visible, all the time...

Frames when selected can be switched off in layout settings.

Then you have a border applied to the field. Select the field and set all borders to off (Inspector > Appearance > Object).

Thanks, it's getting better, when the window with the radiobuttons field opens, NO FRAME!!!!!

BUT, when selecting the field there is the frame again (with in layout settings "no frame when rekord active")

I think what I need is "no frame when field is active or something like that...."

There's nothing you can do about that, AFAIK.

It bothers me a lot too, Tia.

One thing you can do is to create a script with a simple Commit Records/Requests [skip data entry) and attach script trigger to the radio button field to OnObjectModify. It will flash briefly when you make a selection but at least it is less annoying than remaining bordered after your selection.

Keep in mind that it will be committing the record. Usually that is fine since de-selecting anywhere on the layout will also commit the record but I want to be sure you realize that.

I followed yor advise and this is really an improvement...

The problem could be solved also when it was possible to change the color of the frame to the backgroundcolor, but then the color of the buttons change also and make them invisible...

It is also impossible to indent the buttons in the frame to make the layout look better...

FILEMAKER improve you great product...

Another trick that you could try is to make that field not enterable, while positioning some circles over the radios.

Each circle will fire a script.

The button names/value's are comming from a file with changing values, I have to find out what the name is from radiobutton 1 or radiobutton 2 etc. in the inputlist..

I'm going to find out how to do that.
