Re: Programatically effecting one button in a multi-record block

[Quoted] May be it's possible to simulate button behaviour of a text item programmatically.

1. Text item (not a button). Visual attibutes are: Color = gray Bevel = raised It looks like a button. In this case it's possible to manipulate with "button lable" (item value), color, etc.
2. The triggers are something like next:

WHEN-MOUSE-DOWN trigger
Set_Item_Instance_Property( ItemId, CURRENT_RECORD, BORDER_BEVEL, PLAIN ); WHEN-MOUSE-UP trigger
if <Condition> then
  DoSomething;
else
  DoAnotherSomething;
end if;
Set_Item_Instance_Property( ItemId, CURRENT_RECORD, BORDER_BEVEL, RAISED ); Regards,
