How to add a button with a default label?

Hello,

I have question about "button" control.

Is it possible to add a button control with a default label, like "My Button"? And the label should still be editable if click on it.

It seems that, I have to do some changes in button-controls.xbl, but how?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Xue,

The behavior you describe corresponds to what happens in Form Builder when you add a button to a form, right? Are you saying that you'd like to see this at runtime as well? Could you tell us more about the use case you have in mind?

Hello Alex,

Thank you for your reply.

Actually, I only need this happens in Form Builder, because only the form definition is important for me.

I want to have some default buttons that have default labels, e.g. "Save", "Edit", "Close&Save", etc.

If it is possible, I don't have to enter those labels every time by myself  and I can still change the labels later in Form Builder.

Hi,

Got it. Then, I imagine that you could create your own XBL controls for each button, which would mostly be copies of button.xbl. But I don't like the idea that you'd need to copy button.xbl, just to avoid typing "Save" or "Edit". Maybe you could create a single control that uses the xf:trigger and allows the user to select the value of the label from a dropdown in the control properties. I think that would be my prefered way of doing this.
