Making buttons non-selectable
Is there an option to dim a button and make it not selectable? I guess I was looking for a "selectable" option in the Property Inspector and did not find one.
Thanks

Thanks Simon. Next dumb "properties" question. Can you set any attributes like column width or number of columns to display in a basic table field? Or to do that do you need to graduate to a data grid?Simon wrote:hmmm... lets see

tabStops work.
set the tabStops of field 1 to 40,50,120,190,200
the stinky thing is that each of those numbers are measured from the left of the field.
I think the number of columns would be controlled by "width".

Thanks Simon, something to play with tomorrow. Do you know if you can change justification (from left to right?). I'm working on something over here http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php? ... 159#p97236Simon wrote:tabStops work.

Re: Making buttons non-selectable
They finally gave us an easier way to calculate tabstops a couple of versions ago. You can now just list the widths of each. Been waiting years for that. At the same time they added the ability to use 0 to indicate the end of the columns. If you use that, hitting the tab key at the end of a row will automatically cycle the selection to the next row.Simon wrote:tabStops work.
