Buttons are usually located on the right-hand side of windows/dialogs. If you want two or more buttons in a row (i.e. next to each other), this is best achieved by grouping them.
TIP: If you frequently need to insert the same combination of buttons (e.g. OK, Cancel, Apply), you can design a standard dialog class that just contains these buttons, and then insert this standard dialog into the window or dialog class that needs them.
To add two or more buttons:
| 1. | Use the Windows Designer catalog to open the window/dialog to which you want to add two or more buttons. |
| 2. | In the design view, make sure the highest-level Info Window object (for windows) or Dialog Box object (for dialogs) is selected. |
| 3. | From the menu bar, choose Insert, Button, or drag and drop a button from the Control tab page of the Windows Designer catalog. |
| 4. | Repeat the previous step for each of the buttons you want to add. |
| 5. | Holding down the CTRL key, click on each of the inserted buttons, and then from the menu bar, choose Format, Group. |
| 6. | Select the group (either via the Object tree, or by clicking on one of the buttons, holding down the ALT key and then clicking on that button again). |
| 7. | From the menu bar, choose Format, Alignment, and then choose Right or Bottom. |
