Figure 8-33. You can put your button anywhere you want, and make it any size you want. But if it's
going to look like a button with the “Go to List” label, it should be close to the size of the button
shown in this window. Also, don't forget to set the button's autosize anchors appropriately. If you
put it here, then anchor it on the top and right.
When you release the mouse button, FileMaker immediately pops up the Button Setup dialog
box (see
Figure 8-34
).
You want this button to switch to a different layout whenever someone clicks it, so in the ac-
tion list, find “Go to Layout,” and then select it (it's right under the boldface Navigation
item). When you do, the Options area shows you a pop-up menu labeled “Specify.” From the
pop-up menu, select Layout and then pick any layout in your database from the list. For this
button, choose the layout named People List and then click OK.
Something else changes when you select a button command: The “Change to hand cursor
over button” checkbox appears below the Options area. By turning this option on, you tell
FileMaker to use a special pointing-finger cursor whenever someone mouses over the button.
(The icon is similar to the one you usually see when you point to a link in a web
browser—the universal cue that an area is clickable.)
