The ONLY disadvantage of this is that since i overlayed the same field on top of another field, they both show the same values in browse mode and so the text seems to be darker and bolded and a bit blurry. Comments or suggestions? It seems to do what i want but are there any other sideffects to it? Thanks all! That indicates they are not exactly aligned and/or not the same color. Or that Pri has not upgraded to 7.0v3? This was a problem on v1 and maybe v2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Howard Schlossberg (818) 883-2846 FM Pro Solutions Los Angeles, California FileMaker 7 Certified Developer Associate Member, FileMaker Solutions Alliance |
Certainly not what I would call fuzzy as pri described (in fact, somewhat
sharper), not bold, just blacker than individual fields in the same layout.

I am seeing a noticable difference when two fields are overlayed in v3. Certainly not what I would call fuzzy as pri described (in fact, somewhat sharper), not bold, just blacker than individual fields in the same layout. |
when you overlay black text over, say, red text. There was no fixing it
for many users in v1, but in v3 you can try adjusting the 'font
smoothing style' on the Edit > Preferences dialog.

hey!! thanks for all your tips. But i found another way of doing it. I duplicated the all the fields that were buttons and i wanted to be able to use in find mode. then i removed from the duplicates the button feature and made thier fill transparent. Then i overlayed it exactly on top of the original fields. Now in browse mode, the "two fields" are buttons and in find mode i can click in and use them. The ONLY disadvantage of this is that since i overlayed the same field on top of another field, they both show the same values in browse mode and so the text seems to be darker and bolded and a bit blurry. Comments or suggestions? It seems to do what i want but are there any other sideffects to it? Thanks all! |
work in earlier versions. FileMaker simple does whatever the topmost
element is defined to do no matter what Mode you're in. So in your case
clicking on the pile will activte the field and never run the button
script underneath. ?
\Assuming this trick does work in FileMaker 7, you could simply remove
the 'button field' underneath and replace it with a normal rectangle
defined as the button (with the field still on top).

Sounds a bit iffy, unless it's a new trick in FileMaker 7 - it won't work in earlier versions. FileMaker simple does whatever the topmost element is defined to do no matter what Mode you're in.
