Create a Button Field
A button field is represented as a rectangle that the user clicks to initiate an operation. Such buttons are commonly called push buttons or command buttons. In the Property Inspector, you can specify either text or an image as the label for the button.
Note:  You can create Alt speed keys for button fields. For more information, see How You Can Define an Alt Speed Key (see How You Can Define an Alt Speed Key). For information about using buttons on portable forms, see the Programming Guide.

1. Open your frame in the Frame Editor (see Open an Existing Frame (see Open an Existing Frame)).
2. Select the Button Field icon on the field palette.
3. Position and size the button field.
4. Set the properties for the button field.
For complete descriptions of each field property, see Button Field Properties (see Button Field Properties) and Common Field Properties (see Common Field Properties).
