How to edit the buttons in a Form

KarthikeyanPSG

When we create a Form using hiCreateAppForm() functon, there are 5 buttons (OK, Cancel, Defaults, Apply and Help) being displayed at the bottom of the Form. How can we change this setting to display only 3 buttons (OK, Cancel and Help) and also rename the OK button to Run button?

  • This is pretty clearly described in the documentation for hiCreateAppForm - you need to use the ?buttonLayout argument to hiCreateAppForm():

    oneField=hiCreateStringField(?name 'something ?prompt "Enter info")
    hiCreateAppForm(
      ?name 'CCFsillyExample
      ?fields list(oneField)
      ?buttonLayout '(OKCancel (Run "hiFormClose(hiGetCurrentForm())") )
    )

    hiDisplayForm(CCFsillyExample)

    However, you must have an OK or Close button on the form - so you can have both OK and Run, but not just Run (otherwise hiFormClose/hiFormDone/hiFormFinish will fail).

  • Yeah, it works Sir. Thank you very much.
