Type
object
Summary
A control that is clickable.
Syntax
button
Description
Use the button object type to create a clickable button, a tabbed window, or a menu.
Button objects can be push buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, or menus, depending on the setting of their style property.
A button whose style is set to "menu" can be a popup or contextual menu, pulldown menu, option menu, tabbed button, or combo box, depending on the setting of its menuMode property.
A button is contained in a card, group, or background. Buttons cannot contain other objects.
A standard button is rendered by the operating system, not LiveCode. Changing certain properties of such a button will cause the button to stop honouring the native theme. Properties that affect the button's colour and border may cause this issue.
Examples
set the hilite of button "Warning" to false
if the number of this card is 1 then hide button "Previous"
