May i know what is this? A portal button?

Featured Replies

Hi,

Just starting to learn FM, and I'm stumped by the below.

2012-05-03_02h13_00.png

I know what it does, it is a button to perform an action. Question is, what kind of button is it? I tried to manually do this by putting a portal, and placing a button in the first row of the portal just like how the fields are, but it does not work, the button stays only in the first row.

Is this some kind of special button? May i know how can i do it? Now, i just copy and paste from samples.. ^_^, but i like to understand what i am using.

Thanks!

make sure the entire button in in the top line of the portal in layout mode. Also make sure that your portal is indeed showing multiple lines from the child side of the relationship.

the button stays only in the first row.

Sounds like the button is not really in the portal. Make sure that the upper-left corner of the object is within the first row of the portal.

Question is, what kind of button is it?

It is attached to a script "Go to Layout" Layout (invoice Details)

Go into Layout Mode and double click on it to see.

but why does that button have an icon that i cannot change? does that icon signify something? That green little icon on the left.. thanks eveyrone!

It's just a graphic that is being used as a button.

I understand now! Thanks so much.. just drag an image in..... click and make it a button.. i did not know FM could do that....

however there is something strange... something special about that icon.. when i resize it.. the borders expand and resizes, but the image itself remains the same size... how did that happen? When i drag in an image and i resize it.. the image resizes when i drag it.. just curious why.

In Layout mode, choose Format-->Graphic... to see/set behavior of a graphic.

as you can see my button is selected...i also cant seem to find it in the inspector either

Perhaps you can tell us what file, layout and theme you are looking at.

My error: In FM 12 it is in the Inspector.
