it is possible to put a scratch variable on a button instead of just text

[Neil Hunter]

Sorry pushed ok too early

There should be something on the label properties screen with a check box that says Variable ? Tick it and replace your label with the variable name

HI
yes ok but how, i'm fairly new to all this gui stuff

[Neil Hunter]

Sorry about that

[hendo]

Tried that but does not seem to work
maybe i've not read the file early enough to set the scratch variable
I'll try and play about with it
thanks anyway for your help

If your scratch variable value is dependant on a file read and the button is in your first Text ID which maybe in your first Characteristic then you will need to perform the file read before (LSCALL ?) the first Characteristic.

[Neil Hunter]

Is the button a static or dynamic button ? Ie has it been defined in formats or fields ?

[hendo]

Sorry being completely stupid
got it working fine
tried to set it up in gui options window but that is only for icons
silly me

If you are using 5.5 you can use the label property to set the text on the button without concern for PRO-IV timing.

I.E.
If your button is named BtInvoice your code would look like:
BtInvoice.Label = 'Invoice Posted'
Or
BtInvoice.Label = $INVOICE_LABEL
