Hi Folks. Saw Servoy at MacWorld and am just getting started. (Looks very cool, so far!) Platform: OS X. Question: I only get a visible feedback of a button being pressed if that button is created with LAF default for the bevel property. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
What kind of border do you set?
This is pretty much apple’s implementation of the lnf so i don’t think we can do much about it.
Oops. Mistyped. The issue involves the border (not bevel) selected. Selecting any border other than LAF default results in the a ‘button’ that does not darken or otherwise visually suggest having been clicked, even though the onAction method is triggered. Tried all the options.
hmm the mac seems to do something that when it doesn’t have the default LAF border it just paints a label and it behavious like a label.
Strange thing is that many people aks us that the want a label but with action events like a button. Mac seems to have that one by default. But on windows you will always have button behaviour, if you have a button.
Here’s another oddity. Under OS X, when you select an image to be used as a button, the associated button text appears to the right of the image (even with CENTER selected) and the left few pixels of the image are truncated, regardless of the ‘size’ of the button. Is this normal?
The icon on a button always showsup before the text, same as seen in “file” menuitem of Servoy.
If you want your text ontop of the image, place an image ,place transparent button ontop.
