I have a button field which cycles through SELECT > MALE > FEMALE option for gender .

Below is the script:

if (event.target.buttonGetCaption()=="SELECT")

{event.target.buttonSetCaption("MALE");}

 

else if (event.target.buttonGetCaption()=="MALE")

{event.target.buttonSetCaption("FEMALE");}

 

else if (event.target.buttonGetCaption()=="FEMALE")

{event.target.buttonSetCaption("SELECT");}


I want instead of text MALE or FEMALE.. i want to put there small icon of male and female  don't want to use layer visibility or two buttons (hide/show)....... is it possible to put two different icons in the same button and cycle through.

 

Thanks

"picture1" is not an Icon... You need to use something like this:

event.target.buttonSetIcon(this.getField("picture1").buttonGetIcon());


it works fine

 

if (event.target.buttonGetIcon() == this.getField("picture1").buttonGetIcon())
{event.target.buttonSetIcon(this.getField("picture2").buttonGetIcon());}

else if(event.target.buttonGetIcon() == this.getField("picture2").buttonGetIcon())
{event.target.buttonSetIcon(this.getField("picture1").buttonGetIcon());}

 

 

Thanks for your help

Yes, but it's much trickier. You will need to save those icons as the icons of (hidden) button fields and then import them from those fields to the main field, as well as compare them to the current one.

I tried doing that but it didnot worked:

var picture1 = this.getField("Button1");  //this is the field with image

 

if (event.target.buttonGetCaption()=="SELECT")

{event.target.buttonSetIcon("picture1");}
