V10 beta Alphabet Button

[Mendy]

Does the Alphabet Button creator in V10 allow you to make generic multistate buttons easily or just hard coded A,B,C,etc buttons?

Hi Richard,

As far as I know, it will be just the Alphabet and Numbers 1 to 0.

What did you have in mind?

Keith,

From an earlier post of yours. Has something changed?

Question to Selwyn:
Quote:
Can Numbers be used as well as letters? I have a customer list that has customers like, 1st Computer Club and 21st Century Fireworks.

sorry - no. for simplicity, we limit it to alphabet buttons. you will have to continue to hand code special requirements
So there you have it, direct from the top.


Richard, There is a V10 forum setup now for both desktop and server.

Keep in mind that, one way or another, most every object has properties that can be manipulated.

I haven't had the opportunity to look at possible Xbasic-driven manipulations of this one, but I'll bet such changes will be in decent demand, as will solutions.

As Selwyn would say, "Alpha Software wants to leave something for the developer to do."

I have a couple of questions and issues on multistate buttons and was just wondering if V10 would solve them. Am putting together a database to upload to demonstrate the questions. Will take a bit.

Jeff, sorry I didn't know of V10 forum. Came back and could not find my post in V9 forum. Clicked on Keith's replies and found where my post went.

Richard,

No problem. Just wanted to let you know for future reference that the have finally setup forums for V10 questions and have been moving V10 posts there.

From the latest I have read on the forum they have not released any of the V10 desktop stuff for beta testing so all we have to go by is the video's produced showing us some of the new features. Please still post your issues with multi-state buttons and see if someone can help.

Re Numbers on new Super Control Multistate Button:

Yes, is the simple answer.

After many emails and all my great powers of persuasion, Selwyn has implemented the choice of Numerics and Alphabet.

At this time I have not seen how the new choice has been implemented.

Keith,

Great job. I agree with you that numbers are important for the search.

Thanks.
