Command buttons

Command buttons are non-data item controls that can be clicked at runtime for specific purposes.

There are three types of command button that you can add, all described in detail in this topic:

  • Action buttons
  • Application buttons
  • Function buttons.
Note: When you add a function button, be aware that some of the SunSystems functions require a relevant form to be specified; otherwise the function is not invoked when the button is clicked at runtime. For example, a function command button for Ledger Setup must specify LD for the form name. A list of relevant functions is provided at the foot of this topic, along with the default form names that must be specified for each function.

Generally, command buttons should be positioned along the bottom part of the form. The size of command buttons can either be preset as a default setting or determined when adding the button to your form.
