Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5SR5
Operating System: Win 2000

Hi,

I want to alter buttons eg simple text buttons at runtime and so have a general question as to what can be done via coding. The reason is I would like to share templates across similar appplications which have different requirements.

My immediate example is that I can change numitems (eg to 1) property but am then left with a large background corresponding to the original width.

The next requirement would be to change the text and code behind the button.

Any help would be great thanks.

Cheers,

Pete

Hi Pete,

UIM objects can be sized and moved with standard object properties... tbutn.width, tbutn.height, tbutn.left and tbutn.top.

tbutn.l1$="Button Text";

Button code is in the Label Control box. The only way to change it is to put all action in a file... run.section(File,Section) ...and edit the file.
