Hi David,

Thank you for your reply. I want my application to do exactly what the setterbar does but i want this to show the image on the pane. I don't really know whether i can develop the application without the command "Manipulate". I just want to make the interactive cell and put it on our website. What is the command "Manipulate" for? Your solution has exactly the same problem as mine has. It only shows the first three images and the buttons below are selected at the same time.

I believe your objective here is to have a grid of buttons, yet control generates rows.

At present your solution is to try and combine three different manipulate variables. Unfortunately things are not set up to do this easily!

Luckily we can generate a button grid by bypassing Control and using SetterBar. For example try:

{SetterBar[Dynamic[x], Range[6], 
  Appearance -> "Horizontal" -> {3, 3}], Dynamic[x]}

Unluckily Manipulate doesn't take explicit SetterBar controls! It appears Manipulate only eats Controls (which can yield SetterBar controls), and I can't find a way to pass the above appearance specification. Though it may be possible. Must you explicitly use Manipulate for your application? Does a dynamic setter in another context suffice?

Find a solution attached.
