Custom button under browse
« on: October 25, 2020, 10:56:34 PM »
Hi Bruce,

Is there a way to use one of the buttons under the browse (e.g. the copy button) as a custom button?

I have seen the recommendation to use a Memory Form to add custom buttons. But I want to add a button that is aligned with the "Insert" button.
i.e. "Insert" "Insert All"

Regards,
Ubaidullah Nubar.

no.

yes

The problem is that the code for the button is complex. You need the form to make the button so that you get all the code to make the button work. Injecting the button next to insert is likely possible using some clever CSS, but I've not tried that...
Although I suppose the easiest is to have the form make the Insert, and InsertAll buttons. and not have an Insert button on the browse.

Cheers

Why not just use jQuery to move things around?
I'm using that with great success.

Thanks for the reply, Bruce.

My InsertAll button is a call to a source procedure, so that is easy.
But how do I make the Insert button for the browse on the memory form ?

Hi Niels,

That's an interesting suggestion.

I will appreciate it if you have any pointers on how to go about doing that.

It's just an "other" button , added to the form, doing whatever you need it to do...
