button object

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 17:59:33 GMT

I have created several button objects to select data based on criteria.

So people know what they have selected can I change the color of the button?

I have created variables which set my selection criteria and each button references that variable.

You can definitely do this (see below). You use a 'calculated' expression to determine the color.

Something like: if ( variable='Selected', red(), green())

You can also use RGB() color codes or even a color gradient (colormix) to change the color.

color of the button can be a calculated expression; it can depends on your variable or a new ad hoc variable you set when the user click the buttons

i agree with jpe and praveen kumar ...i think these are the answers for your reuqirement,...i give another small suggestion you can create a text box instaead of buttons and again create a small textbox(as line) or line ,when user is clicked a small line will comes and text color changes by using calculated expression

ok here is what I did:

I created a (vSelect) variable.

Under my button object I went out to actions and added Set Variable and typed in =vSelect

I already had a set variable to select my selection criteria called vNetUse

then I went to actions and brought in Select in FIeld

under the field I put in my field that was going to pull the data

under Search String is typed =$(vNetUse)

Now what is the expression I need to change the color and where do I put it?

Do I need an expression under the vSelect action

Do I need the expression in the vSelect variable

Here is a shot at what i think you want. I put in a <reset> button as well. Not sure how you want that to work but give it a shot:
