Create a
Button Displayed Among This Region’s Items
Creating a button as Create a button displayed
among this region’s items will result in both a button and a page item
being created. This means it can be positioned in the middle of other
page items by using the Displayed region for the button attributes.
The button is then positioned in the region using Sequence, Begin on
New Line, Begin on New Field, ColSpan and Display properties.
Notice in Figure 10.9, the buttons
P2903_AMONG_ITEM_1 and P2903_AMONG_ITEM_1 are shown in the Buttons
section and the Items section. This is an indication the button is
created among a region’s items.
Buttons created among the region’s items have some
properties that are not available in a button created in a region
position.
-
Display Location: The position of the button
among the other page items in the region is controlled by using the
Displayed region on the Button Attributes page. This means the
button can be positioned anywhere within the other page items.
-
Button Request: Since a button among region
items is treated just like another page item, it can have its label
set via an SQL statement, database column, etc. When this is done,
the value of the Label becomes the value of the REQUEST when the
button is pressed.
In Figure 10.10, the button showing 19-JAN-06 had
the label set with a SQL statement selecting SYSDATE. This shows the
button label can be set just like any other page item such as a text
field. The buttons are in positions in which other page items would
normally appear.
