I know that buttons are supposed to look like labels.
BUT
When I have a row of stuff , some of which are buttons, and some are segmented controls, it just looks plain ugly having buttons looking like labels when everything else is neatly outlined. I know there has been some declares code issued that sets the background image, but I dont trust that to stay ‘theme savvy’
So if anyone else feels the same, my solution is:
Create a segmented control with as many segments as you want buttons.
In the ValueChanged event, act on the tap, but then deselect the segment.
What you get is a visual cue that the tap has occurred, and what amounts to an action event
Here is my code for a 2-button ‘toolbar’ style segment:
[code]if me.value = 0 then
//do button 0 things
end if
if me.value = 1 then
//do button 1 things
end if
//reset so that none of the ‘buttons’ looks selected
me.item(0).selected = false
me.item(1).selected = false[/code]
