How to activate actions on text object in a container

Hi,

In a container object, I have included few text objects. When user clicks on the text object I want to set a variable to some specific value. For eg if user clicks dashboard 1 in the container , then I want to set a variable to the objectid of sheet 'dashboard 1' etc.

Please download this example to understand, Its look like very simple.

Thanks

use an action on activating the textbox...you find the action in sheet properties -> action -> action on activating Textbox(for example with ID: TX01) hope this helps

It doesn't work that way. The action gets executed only when you double click the text box object. Action does not execute when text box object is highligted.

May be you can download the sample to see what I have done.

Thanks

it works weel for me in your example! let me just make sure i understood what you want to do. When you click on the Textbox that says welcome to dashboard3 your sheetID should be sh04 or do you want this on clicking on the textbox that says Dashboard3?

Hi,

     There is a button ( go to) on the container object. One the left side of the container you can see text objects like

Dashboard 1, Dashboard 2 etc.When you click on, say Dashboard 2 in the container, you can see 'Welcome to Dashboard 2. When I click on the button 'go to' ( at the bottom of the container) , Dashboard 2 sheet should open.

Simlarly If I am on Dashboard 1 in the container, and if I click 'go to' , I should open Dashboard 1 sheet.

Thanks,
