I'm fairly new to commander so I have some basic questions I hopw someone can help me with. How do you put icons onto buttons in Kommander (like Swing components in Java)? Also how do you get a button to open another Kommander file (in the executor)? I'm having trouble working out how to link forms.

Hi Mark_667,

I guess you have either given up on kommander or resolved it yourself in the meantime. The kommander version I use is 1.2 (in KDE 3.5.4). I just found this thread searching for kommander stuff myself. To get it from the 0-reply list and give someone else searching for it a clue:

To put an icon on the just right-click on it and choose "Image".

To open another dialog from a button: Right-click on the button, choose "edit Kommander-Text" (should be third from above, sorry, German locale set here) and insert "@dialog(kmdr-03.kmdr)" -- substitute "kmdr-03.kmdr" with your dialog's file name. Give the absolute or relative path if it is not in the same directory as the one you want to start it from.

Moved: This thread is more suitable in the Programming Forum and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

Kommander is not exactly a Java GUI development tool. It's meant for creating dynamic GUIs for non-programmers and might not fit into your idea as a regular "programming" GUI editor along the lines of qt-designer or Glade. It certainly has a different purpose, you can read more about it here:

Thanks for getting back to me with those responses, I've had another go at it since I got them and made some progress after neglecting it for some time. I was hoping to find a way of puttng a image (pixmap) and label on a button at the same time, but it seems you can't do that. Maybe a consideration for a future release? Until then putting an image on the button and a label underneath served my purposes quite well.

thanks
