Using some other threads on this forum, I now have list views that highlight similar to iTunes – great.
Now I’d like to make header buttons that highlight when they sort. It seems like the best way to do this is to create buttons and attach a one pixel wide gradient image that repeats across the width of the button, and then change the image when the button is selected. I get strange results when I do this, however – the image doesn’t go across the full width, and sometimes you can’t see the button text.
Can anyone share how they pulled something like this off?
Here is what a button looks like in my solution when I set border to empty and imageMedia to a one pixel wide bar with the preserve aspect ratio turned off. You can’t see the text and there is a little black dot in the bottom right corner. What am I doing wrong?
When you use a graphic in a button, the text gets pushed to the right of the graphic. So don’t use the text property with the button – use a separate text object and put on top of the button.
No, but you can set the rollover image property to a slightly darker version of your graphic. Isn’t the same thing but gives the human brain enough to go on.
