I have a form with four "traffic lights" - N/A, red, orange, green. They are toggle buttons, with option values of 0,1,2,3 respectively. The values are from a table with a 2nd field of description. The chosen value drops into a 2nd table to give the status. So - if I choose Green (option value 3), it looks up table 1, and in table 2 drops in the status of "good".
At the moment it is very difficult for a user to see which of the buttons is clicked (they're embedded bmps if that makes a difference). What I would like to do, is if "green" is chosen all the other options lose intensity, or alternatively green is somehow highlighted. Users need to be able to change the option at any point.
Just had a chat with my manager, who points out that the form is a continuous form, which adds a level of difficulty. Record 1 might be a green light, but record 2 is a red light, and record 3 may be N/A.
I'm not even sure where to start with this one.
