Hover over button to change displayed database.

Postby chaumurky on Mon Jul 31, 2006 6:37 am

I have a screen called "My Videos" with several buttons on the left representing different video databases. On the right is a category window displaying the default database when the screen is opened. I want the displayed database to change reflecting each button as I hover over them but I'm not sure how to achieve this. I already have the buttons linked to custom events for hovering but i don't know what the events should be doing to change the category's display. Can someone help me please?

EDIT: OK, I've set it up to hide/unhide categories and it seems to achieve what I want except when I move the mouse over the category window all the databases appear at once. Is this the best way or is what I was trying to do in the first place better?

I think you will have to use button toggles for your category. This would change the state of the category. OR you could use one category and use set database to change its contents.

The second option was what I was originally trying to do (ait keeps the screen much simpler than the multiple hidden layers I'm using at the moment) but I don't think I was doing it right. Do I only need 'set database' as an event? It doesn't appear to do anything.
