Button color should change when selected

sridhar_sigired — Tue, 11 Aug 2015 11:44:46 GMT

Hello,

Can anyone please help me to change the color of button when we select it.

Button color is blue right now, where as when we select it should change to green color.

Thanks.

Use calculated Color for button color. Use the same variable use in the button action to control its color

If(vVar = 1, ActiveColor, DeactiveColor)

where vVar is button's action

You need to set an extra variable-value by clicking from this button, for example vColor to 0 or 1, maybe in this way:

set variable action

= if($(vColor) = 0, 1, 0)

button-color:

= if($(vColor) = 0, blue(), green())

I have created variable vColor with 0 value and

set variable action as

= if($(vColor) = 0, 1, 0)

button calculated color as

= if($(vColor) = 0, blue(), green())

But it is not working. Any problem in above lines?

Is there an initial value in vColor? If vColor is null neither expression will be valid and they will both be ignored.

Initialise vColor to 0 or 1 using the variable overview or an input box.

Please set a variable to change the color and set it in calculated section under backgroud color:

if(vChangeColor=1,RGB(0,255,0),RGB(0,0,255))

The remark from jontydkpi is right - you need to initialise this variable (to make another loop within the expressions to fetch this case is possible but not really useful - once set to 0 or 1 and it worked).

Community support is awesome. thank you all for your replies.

Here i have three buttons.

Button 1

Button 2

Button 3

I need to set a action where if click on button two (activate as green color), remaining buttons should go back to non selected mode (inactivate to blue color).

For one button, the above variable method is working. Whereas may i know how can we set this with multiple variables.

Follow this:

1. Take Three Buttons

1. First

2. Second

3. Third

2. Take one Variable like "vClor" and assign 0 to it.

3. Now on First button set below action on "Set Variable"

=if(vColor=1 or vColor =2,0,0)

them First button only write below expression under Calculated with in Base color area:

=if(vColor=1 or vColor =2,0,0)

4. follow this step for Second and Third Button

Second Button:

=if(vColor=0 or vColor =2,1,1)

if(vColor=1,Green(), Blue())

Third Button

=if(vColor=1 or vColor =0,2,2)

if(vColor=2,Green(), Blue())
