Creating buttons

Most of the buttons you create will contain text, like Next, Previous, Yes, or No. Buttons can also contain images, like arrows or shapes. Additionally, buttons can be transparent for creating hotspots on regions of an image.

You can also create a four-state image button. Four-state image buttons have the four button states (normal, over, down, and disabled) built into them. You select the images you want displayed for each state of the button.

To add buttons to your title, you can configure a custom image button, browse the buttons available within the Stock Library, add a transparent button, or convert a shape. The Stock Library contains hundreds of today's popular button images. All Back, Next, Home and Exit buttons added from the Stock Library are pre-programmed with the corresponding action. Custom image buttons allow you to assign images to the four state properties of the button: normal, as the button exists when the page is displayed, when the button is clicked, over, when users pass their cursors over the button, down, and disabled, the mouse pointer - when hovered over the button - shows as unclickable and mouse-related triggers do not execute. Assigning images to the down, over and disabled states is optional.

You can also set the state of the button using the Set State action. For details, see Selecting the action.

Transparent buttons do not contain images or text.

Converting a shape to a button instantly creates a four-state image button.
