Button label is placed on the button. The only way to "hide" it is to make label color = button color (i.e. foreground color = background color). If so, change one of those colors.

If you are talking about button's PROMPT (and not a label), it will be hidden behind the button if its "attachment offset" is set to a negative value large enough to hide the prompt text behind the button. If so, set offset value to 0 (i.e. its default value).

hi littlefoot

thx for ur help,i appreciate it.but it seems that i didnt make self clear so let me explain wat exactly i want.

my objective: to create a coloful push button with the name clear on it.

steps:
1) i created a push button
2) "gave the label as clear"
3) tried to change the color of it using forground color nad background color property,how ever nothing happend even though i changed these properties.
3) so i set the iconic proerty as yes("after setting it to iconic not able to see the label ")
4) but didnt give any iconic file name as i want to give a label and color of my choice to the button
5)now i changed the background color of the button to blue succesfully("coloring task done")
6) as i dont see the label i thougt of using "BOILER PLATED TEXT" option to show the label
7) gave the text as CLEAR
Cool after gicing teh text i got hidden behind the button
9) when i moved the button i can see the text on the canvas as CLEAR but not on the button

"so plz suggest me wat should i do to make make push button colorful"

thanks and regards

You did that the most possible complicated way ...

Here's a screenshot and all I did was to change foreground and background color - nothing more and nothing less. (don't mind ugly combination, though).

i have already tried that before posting the last thread.
it seems that the version of the software that ur using is different from the one im using.im using "Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.8.0 (Production)" may be thats the reason its not reflecting the changes. wat do u think? anything else you would like to suggest my friend.

Thanks and regards
shiraz
