Title: Form with only buttons
Post by: Jeremy G. on August 06, 2015, 10:30:46 am
Hello,
I'm a beginner to genero & 4gl.
I'm on genero Studio 2.50.23 and I created a form with just 3 buttons, and I can't display it cause it directly closed without INPUT. So, how can I display it and make ON ACTION on the buttons?

Regards

Hello Jeremy,

If you have only buttons in your form, you need to control these with a MENU instruction + ON ACTION blocks:

What do you want to do exactly?

You may consider to:

A) Implement a list view with DISPLAY ARRAY as the first dialog of your application, to let the user immediately browse in a list of records.

B) Use the MENU instructions with ATTRIBUTES(STYLE="dialog", ...) to get a typical popup box and let the user choose between several options.
