B4J Question [ABmaterial] Resize an ABMButton and ABMTab

[Roberto_Marroquin]

Hello forum, is there a way to custom set the width and/or height of a ABMButton?

I am evaluating the ABM Framework and trying to build a simple 4 icon tabbar with no text, similar to the Tabs shown in the ABMEditor

1. Using ABMButtons, the size of a button is too large to hold an icon
2. Likewise, using ABMTabs, the width of the tabs are too wide.

How can I achieve that?

Thank you for your help.

Can you show me a screenshot of what you mean because ABMaterial follows the Google Material Design Guidelines (hence the term Material in ABMaterial ) as close as possible.

Thanks for the quick response.

i need something similar to the attached file (ToggleButtons) anywhere on the page

Your demo shows 3 buttons but all are wide. Maybe I am not using the right control. ABMTabs in the other hand, does it as well but I cannot make the 10px + icon width + 10px, to say something.

Thank you and congratulations for the brilliant implementation you had done. I an reviewing right no and I hope I can take the decision to switch to this framework for my webapps.

It looks like the "ToggleButtons" are not yet implemented in Materialize CSS. If you add it to the feedback app as a wish, I'll see if I can add it myself. If you don't have a feedback account, just send me a mail ([email protected]) and I create a guest account for you.

Ok thanks,

I sent you an email as per your request.

I am trying to emulate the control by using ABMbuttons or ABMTabs. So I assume the size of the buttons cannot be manipulated except for the constants ABM.BUTTONSIZE...

As a workaround, I will try using an ABMTable with only headers (and put the icons in it). I noticed that ABMTable cell widths are resizable

Thank you very much
