Moving the Button
Unless the button is already positioned correctly in the row of
buttons at the bottom of the screen, move the button.
To move the button:
1. Position the pointer over the button and click to select it. While
holding down the left mouse button, drag the mouse.
2. As you drag the mouse, the button moves. Drag the button so it’s
positioned next to the View button and release the mouse button.
Tip: If your application is for a keypad terminal, you will assign
Function Key 12 to this button. To ensure that the button aligns with
this function key, choose Zoom Out in the View menu. This displays
the function keys as they appear on a keypad terminal. If the button
isn’t aligned properly, move it. To restore the screen to its normal
size, choose Zoom In from the View menu.
Changing the Button Appearance
To keep the button’s appearance consistent, you must add text to the
button and change the color and border style.
Changing the Border Style
When you convert an application, existing buttons are assigned
border styles automatically. You’ll notice that the new button’s
border is different from the existing button borders. To stay
consistent, assign the same border to the new button.
To change the border style:
1. Select the new Goto Screen button.
2. Choose Border Style in the Format menu, and choose Raised 2.
The border on the button changes to the same style as the existing
buttons’ borders.
