Fancy Switches

How can I repurpose the cool radio buttons used in the calendar?

Those little switches are pretty simple under the hood: they just call regular FileMaker scripts and are conditionally formatted to change their appearance when they are "off" or "on".

Best of all they are really easy to copy and paste into different parts of your solution since they aren't based on fields.

Here is a short video showing how to work with them. If you want to get really fancy, you can animate these switches in FileMaker 13 and beyond =) Here's how.
