Procedure ShowRecord

Hi,
Have you tried changing the button style to 'bscommandlink' - you can then use images as de-facto buttons without needing any script.
Derek.

Hi,
Yes, I know what you mean about the ugly arrow - sometimes you can choose images that make it less noticeable but it's annoying that you can't completely get rid of it.
Another option is to use images and link them to hidden buttons rather than actually trying to code for 'newrecord' actions or 'deleterecord' actions etc (see attachment).
Optionally, you can also 'nudge' your images so that it replicates the 'down' and 'up' movement of a button being clicked (not in the attachment). 
Also, you could change the cursor from 'crdefault' to 'crhandpoint' when the mouse hovers over the image to perhaps make it a bit more intuitive for the user.
Regards,
Derek.

Changing color/hue as you mouse enter / leave is a nice touch - I'll give that a try.
A different option again is to use unicode symbols (or combinations of unicode symbols and plain text).  Because it's just a caption to the button it can be done very simply with no script at all (example attached).
Unfortunately, they are all monochrome but it can nevertheless be quite effective.
Derek.

Hi Sparrow,

any comment about this? What are the options for styleelements?:

form1.button1.styleelements := 2;

Which book??

Are you referring to this: => https://k245.ru/mvdb/non-code-prilozheniya-mvdb.html

It's great, lots of missing details from Dmitry's help file but not really easy for non Cyrillic readers as some texts are not translated at all by the auto translate features of our web browser!!

Below is copy paste from web browser after auto translate of this page : https://k245.ru/mvdb/otobrazhenie-tabli … annyh.html

WantTabs    Reaction to Tab    Determines the reaction of the component to pressing the <Tai> key. If the property is set to True, tabulation symbols are inserted into the text when the <THAT> key is pressed. By default, the WantTabs property is set to False, and when you press the <Tah> key, the table sends input focus to the next window control.

TabLeaveControl*    Loss of focus with the <Tab key    Determines whether the component will lose input focus when you press Tab

Хотите Возвраты*    Enable line feed with the Enter key    Determines whether multiline text will be allowed when you press Enter

Иинкрем, поиск    "SEARCH" button    A table can act as a filtering management tool if it is specified as a data source when configuring a button with the [SEARCH] action. In order for filtering to change synchronously with moving through the rows of the table, specify the button responsible for searching the data in this property.

Colleagues, please be patient. Once I have completely transferred the contents of the beginner's tutorial to hyperbook format, I will translate it into English. Now there are many clarifications, additions and corrections to these materials, so English-speaking readers will be more lucky - they will immediately receive better information. But a little later.

Keep up the good work, I cannot wait to see the scripting section with all the possibilities that we don’t even know yet!

Not really, but at least it ressembles something more of a user manual that never existed in the first place than a book of all secrets!!
Most of the time, I look on the internet in different places including this very forum before asking here.

Look, nobody can answer to the question of my post!! Good example of missing documentation if you ask me!!

Thank you so much Derek, the contextual help was completely wrong for the syntax of "ShowRecord", you got it! The dbItemID also works with a Combobox.

I think Sparrow, where tcoton was having difficulty, was in trying to work out how to get an Image Click to do what a Button Click can do either by script or from the inbuilt functions for ShowRecord etc.
