What I want to do is put a graphic of an envelope on my form (under Forms 5.0.6) where the user can click on it to open up another canvas to edit an address. I know I can use an iconic button, but I am not happy with the border that comes with all buttons. Importing a graphic onto the canvas doesn't help because Canvases and Windows have no triggers associated with them.
I've tried putting a button with the Visible Property off over the graphic, but it's invisible to the Mouse Pointer as well as the Window. I've tried putting an ON-MOUSE-CLICK trigger on the block, but that only triggers when I click on an item belonging to that block. Any clickable item I put over the graphic occludes it. I've tried putting an ON-MOUSE-CLICK trigger on the Form itself. That works, in its way, but I'd have to hard code the coordinates of the graphic into the trigger function. FIND_ITEM and GET_ITEM_PROPERTY do not appear to work on canvas graphics.
If anyone knows a way to make a graphic image clickable, or how to get rid of the borders around a button, I would love to hear it.
Thanks!
