View

A situation that confuses the user when he is using the "view" button is entering the Form and found two buttons, "ok" and "cancel". When entering data (either for inserts or changes) the use of the buttons is clear, "ok" is for accepting the window and with "cancel" you loose your changes. What is the purpose of both buttons when you do a View? The user normally will choose "ok", and that's mean we have to take extra care to not execute code in the ok button that can be fired when viewing the Form.

This template gives you an easy way out: when the Form is called for View, the Ok button just disappear, and there is only one button, which have its text and icon changed to clarify its use (like "Exit view" and a "Close" icon instead of a "Cancel" one). Besides, you may choose to "change position" of the button so it appears centered between its original position and the Ok original position.
