The Selection Button object creates a control button coordinated with other objects in the document using a common data source. Selection button properties differ from other subscription controls.
To create a selection button:
Drag the Selection Button object from the component toolbar to the content area of the custom document.
Click to select a data source.
The selection button is coordinated with the data objects sharing one data source.
The Make Dependent option makes the control dependent on other controls sharing this data source. See Creating Dependent Subscription Controls.
The Dimension Browser for the selected dimension is displayed.
Make member selections, and click OK.
The selected members display in the Select Member dialog box. You can select font properties, color properties, and rename the dimension member labels. The first dimension member in the panel is used as the button label, so it is often helpful to rename the member to a more descriptive label.
You can define dimension member controls using an explicit selection or advanced member selection. In addition, you can use advanced member selections to populate the control. Using advanced member selection to populate a control makes the control dynamic. As members are added deleted and changed in the database, the control maintains itself and does not become obsolete.
