B4J Question [ABMaterial]: How to make ABMFileInput to be just a button?

[Mashiane]

Hi there

Is it possible to make the ABMFileInput to be just a button, whether round etc without the area to show the text box?

Thanks

Why? Can you provide a case example?

 

[Mashiane]

To be just like an actionbutton / floating button but will prompt you to select a file.

 

[Cableguy]

then why not a "normal" button?...

Found it, https://tympanus.net/Tutorials/CustomFileInputs/, I'm sure I can use some css also.

OK, now I see what you meant.... literally!

I've added a new property in ABM 4.25 so you can control the visibility of the input field part.

Dim inp1 As ABMFileInput
inp1.Initialize(page, "inp1", "Select a file", "Open", True, "input", "button")       
inp1.InputFieldVisibility = ABM.VISIBILITY_HIDE_ON_SMALL_ONLY
page.Cell(2,1).AddComponent(inp1)
