configure button w/o title bar

Anonymous User — Thu, 01 Jul 2021 23:32:15 GMT

Hello All,

I'd like a very simple button which opens a URL in a new window or tab. I've added a button widget and configured the URL but it doesn't directly open the window. Instead it opens a new window with a title bar which then has to be clicked for the desired action (see screen shot).

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Hi, you're not missing anything as such. The widgets widget functionality is to allow on click access to a component , so you're asking it, on click, to present a button component - which it is doing. The widget button itself is not the component.

If you want a mini toolbar, I'd insert a fixed panel, add your buttons, size them etc and use the icons.

Thanks for your help Jonathan! I didn't realize the button could live outside a widget controller. Just putting it into a fixed panel as you suggest seems to be what I need.
