In DataView you create each button area following a uniform scheme:
The following system forms are available to create and manage all button areas and buttons:
Note! Because you also create menus and items in the system forms, you should use a syntax for the button area and button names allowing both groups of objects to be differentiated between.
How to create a button area with buttons:
After storing the empty button area has been logically defined.
Note! Using this procedure you create new button objects and the relation to the newly defined button area in one step. You can also take a different approach. You first create the buttons in the Item Data form and later you create the relation to the button area in the Menu Data form, sub-list Item Assignment.
Observe the following comments when entering button master attributes (displayed in red in DataView Rot):
Observe the following comments when entering the relation attributes button area - button:
After storing all newly created buttons are logically defined and the relations to the button area in the header form are created. You can also assign the buttons to other button areas later.
DataView creates the button area and copies it into main memory. It is available as an interaction object on the user interface.
A newly created top button area (toolbar) can be immediately seen. All other button areas must first be linked to a superordinate object before you can see them on the user interface.
How to link the button area with a mask (create context buttons for mask):
Mask button areas are directly linked to states of the mask object. Detailed information can be found in the section -> Push Buttons in Masks.
How to link the button area with a field (create radio buttons):
Radio buttons are not directly linked to a field object, but with the mask-field relation. Detailed information can be found in the section -> Radio Buttons in Forms.
