Hi Mark,
I gather you are trying to do the following:
- The user clicks on an "Assist me" button, any subsequent clicks on
other buttons initiate a help screen for the specific button, until this
help is cancelled.
Placing the "Assist me" button is straight forward. What I would do is
flip a variable on/off through this button along the lines of set var
vAssist = -1 * .vAssist. That switches the value between -1 and 1.
In each of the other buttons you could now include a trap mechanism
along the lines of:
If vAssist = -1 then
call AssistScreen
Else
do your normal stuff
Endif
Whatta yah reckon??
Frank

Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: SET VAR vbutton = (CVAL('form_field_name'))
Well, I do not think this will work for what I am trying to do or I
can't seem to figure it out.
I want to have a generic EEP that gets the field name or button's text
caption name when you click on either object. Then I will popup a small
form with a help message for that object.
EDIT USING helpform where objname = .vobjname
I tried using the same ComponentI for 3 buttons but it kept getting the
same button text caption no matter which button I clicked.
Is this possible with 7.5 ?
I think I am still missing something.
