In Part 1 (“Check Please,”) and Part 2 (“Expert Panel,”) of this series, we had some fun doing things with button bars that showed off some of their unique usefulness within the FileMaker design-layer toolbox. Often as not, your button bars are going to include icon labels, with or without a supporting text label, and you want those icons to look great.

In recent years, design, has become such an important aspect of what we do; luckily FileMaker has responded with a much improved design surface. With themes and styles, conditional visibility, SVG icon support, and new layout objects, we can now use design and color to communicate with users in ways not previously possible (see, for example, the “Priorities” example in the accompanying demo file).

FileMaker 14 introduced Button Bars, which are basically layout objects that consist of segments that you can define. In my experience Button Bars get used mostly for navigation menus. I’m sure we will come up with all kinds of nifty ideas for areas they can be useful in. This article’s purpose is to show you how you can use the Button Bars to show progress.

I am implementing a button bar interface for a client. They need an in house ordering system. Across the top of the layout there are 4 buttons. Each button represents a step in the process. I have decided to follow my own advice, and for this client, it made sense to create a tabbed interface using a Slider and Button Bar, instead of a regular Tab control.

The new button bar allows you to define a row or column of buttons at once, all with uniform size and formatting. The bar is divided into segments, each of which contains either a regular button or a popover button (a single button bar can contain buttons of both types). You also can designate one of the buttons as "active", typically used to show which button the user clicked last.

Someone recently suggested (a blog, at DevCon? Sorry I lost my source on this one.) using the combination of FileMaker 14’s new button bar with a Slide Panel to emulate a tab panel.
Why bother you ask?
Well you get the cool slide animation effect when using Slide Panels. iOS users are increasingly used to the idea of sliding things around on their screen. Button Bars are cool because they take care of highlighting themselves (with a little help sometimes). The advantage of using a Button Bar to emulate a Tab Label is that it gives the user more information about where they are on the layout. The best of both worlds would be a Sliding Tab Bar.
We don’t have that yet, so here is how to emulate one.

Fun with Button Bars, The Series With themes and styles, conditional visibility, SVG icon support, and new layout objects, we can now use design and color to communicate with users in ways not previously possible (see, for example, the “Priorities” example in the accompanying demo file). Once I got my hands on them, however, I discovered the nuances that make button bars far more than just a permanent grouping of individual buttons. This series will explore some surprising uses for which they’re particularly well-suited. In the end, you’ll not only see how you can improve your users’ “user experience” (UX), but, by letting your design communicate effectively, possibly even their efficiency. ...

FileMaker Pro 14’s new button bar brings a new twist to an old technique for creating alphabetic searches of your data.
Instead of creating 26 individual buttons it is possible to create a single button bar object and then easily reformat it using text style changes or FileMaker CSS style changes. The button bar can also be repurposed to horizontal or vertical layouts. Finally I demonstrate how to use the same script from different contexts to perform different searches — a list search and a portal filter.
