Hello experts,

Can I just ask a few questions before I have to do a complex custom nav bar for real.......?

I want to make a nav bar with each button different, and having both a mouse over and mouse down state. (I would like to have a mouse over for the mouse down, too, but can't think how to do that. Gary p will remember it as a fourth button state in NOF).

I have had no problems making ordinary custom nav bars. But I am getting unexpected results trying to do this, so I know I m approaching it the wrong way. Does each button have to be its own nav bar, as it were? Or should I make a plain nav bar and substitute the real graphics afterwards? Also can I ask, should several objects be made joined in some way first?. I am getting unexpected results if i start with a button that is already a group.

Finally, can a bitmap/s be the foundation of a nav bar button? I don't think so, but am so befuddled with other variables I might be wrong.

Although there are basic tuts on custom nav bars there isn't anything that goes into the kind of detail I would really appreciate. I am pretty sure it is possible to do what I want as Xara can do anything.

Thanks in advance.

Ali
