The following is the description of the two types of Speed Buttons as stored
along with the Form Description in Sys_Forms3. The value after the Colon on the
line beginning with object is what determines which object gets instantiated and
how it appears in the description (whether it is within another object
description) determines whether it is in another container or not. The values
of the objects are the (equivlent or derivitive) objects that are instantiated
at runtime.
You can see you could not simply change the name of the object type as the properties of each object are not the same and would have been more trouble to change the code in the parser to make it happen than the trouble to simply change to the other type button (if you desire it) in the designer. Myself, I have not used the Enhanced button on a form yet as Most of my forms are pretty spartan.
