Method Community

I want to change the format, Just the color would be fine, of a button with method actions.  I tried using "Set color for field object "without success.  I tested it and it worked just find for chaning the background color to a text box but not a button.  

Your Customize Screen Editor's button "Publish" Does exactly what i want, changes red and the text goes to white.  

I have made a work around by making 2 of the same buttons and hiding one and showing the other but this seems inefficiant.  Also when i hide and show the buttons the "Keep this side-by-side other objects in the same cell" = False doesn't work and looks like it defaults back to "Wrapping" of my other buttons that are stacked before the action.

Thank you.

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately the "Set color for field object" action doesn't works for buttons, only fields and objects.  Your workaround with swapping buttons (hide/show) is likely the best way to go about this.  In regards to your other issue "keep this side-by-side other objects..." not sticking, are you able to view any actions on this screen that would cause this behaviour?

The action that causes this change is showing and hiding the buttons, it seems as though as soon as i show hide the buttons then it wraps the buttons instead of stacks them.

Hi Chris,

Would it be able for you to either post or email me a screenshot showing your buttons before/after?  I did a quick example in my own account, but I don't believe I am able to reproduce the issue you are having.  In my test scenario I stacked a few buttons above and below 2 buttons I am going to hide/show.  When I trigger the show/hide action, my buttons just replace each other keeping all buttons side by side, are you saying this isn't happening for you?
