Report Button Widget

Used by:  Report tag.

* Does not use the Style Settings tag.

The Report button tag widget is used to create a button that the operator may click to generate a predefined report. The report must be configured within the associated Report tag, but other widgets are available to allow the operator to change the configuration.

If the Report tag is not configured, the button will be drawn but not enabled.

The properties dialog for the Report Button widget:

Focus ID

Select a number representing the placement of this object in the page’s overall tab order. (Optional)

When you draw objects on a page, each object is given a focus ID that identifies that object's place in the tab order (that is, which object will be selected when the Tab key is pressed). This does not control which object will initially have focus when a page is opened - that belongs to the first item drawn on the page that can receive focus. (i.e. the first graphics statement in the page’s source file).

You can disable a control widget by setting its Focus ID value to zero. The widget will remain visible, but faded.

Re-run the last schedule

When selected, clicking the button will re-run the last scheduled report rather than generating a report that uses the current time.

State 0 Label and State 1 Label

The state 0 label will be shown most of the time. The state 1 label is shown only when the button is pressed and the report runs.

The State 0 label should contain just enough text to allow the operator to know which report will run when the button is clicked and the time frame that will be included in the report (especially if the Re-run last schedule option is selected). The State 1 label should provide confirmation that the button has indeed been clicked upon.

If the label is to include an ampersand (&), enter two ampersands (&&).

Disable Options

Disable selected operator-interaction features of this widget.
