Label & continuos forms

[alex]

In a continuos form I want to add a label to print the
relative record .
The problem is that if I click on the label the record is
not 'focused' and therefore the printed record is the
previous selected one in form. Is there a solution?

Thank you in advance

Normally, people use a button instead of a label so the
record does become current. Even a text box would do what
you want. Do you have some special requirements that force
you to use a label?


Actually, it's pretty common to have the
label/button/textbox in the form's header/footer section.
This is then used to print whatever record is already
current.

Using a label would allow the user to print a record

with one click only (as a web-based application) without
first select the record. Clicking a button or a field
focus the current record. This is not the case for
labels. Is there a way to focus the record of the label
I'm clicking on ?

No. A label can not receive the focus so the current record
is not going to follow the click.

What is wrong with using a button?

If appearance is of overriding concern, you could even make
the button transparent and place it on top of the label.

Yes , I think it's the only solution
Thank you
