Working with Button objects
There are two types of Button objects available in Presentation layouts:
- An interactive object that uses button behaviors: Almost every type of interactive object includes user events such as Click down (mouse button clicked on object), Click up (mouse button released on object), and Double click (mouse button double-clicked on button). By assigning actions to these user events, you can turn almost anything into a button.
- A Button object containing a multi-state button: A multi-state button is a button that changes its appearance when it is clicked. Such a button may provide visual feedback to the end user by having different appearances in its On and Off states. To use a multi-state button, you must draw the button’s various states (or import them as pictures) in a special type of Interactive layout called a Button layout.
You can also group multiple on/off buttons to create a button group, where only one button is allowed to be in the On state at any time. This is useful for situations when you want to limit the end user to one of several mutually exclusive choices.
