RB7.02 D6 - Preview Plugin with an Outline toggle Button

edited September 2003 in General
Is there a plugin demo or enhancement that adds a button beside the
new Text Search toggle button that toggles the outline window?

Right now Text Search is different than Outline and it is confusing to
end users. Many users won't try a right click but will just look for
the button.

Thanks,

    Hi Rick,

    The end user is able to toggle the Report Outline by right clicking over the
    outline area and selecting the Hide Outline popup menu option. If you still
    need a button to toggle the outline, you can create a custom previewer and
    add a button manually that sets the Report Outline's visibilty. I'll see if
    I can make a demo for you.

    Thanks Nico,

    Yes I know about the right click menu, and you know about it, but many
    users will never find it. They will see the new Search button for
    toggling the find bar visibility so I need a similar one for the
    outline.

    The hard parts I think are adding the button where it logically should
    go - next to the Search button, and correctly setting the new button
    down or up in conjunction with a user using the existing right click
    menu?

    Thanks,
