Hi,

I have an app; when the sign out button is pressed, the button is hidden, but i would also like to add some text to the gallery, something like status: gone, is this possible?

the way it works at the moment; when the signout button is pressed, the signout button is hidden, which is fine because its like a register of who is in the building, but as aswell as the function above, when the button is press, i would like some text to appear next to status: 'user left' then when the gallery is accessed again the text is shown. the end result would look like this:

I have tried this, on visible of text label: If(buttonPressed = "Button1_4", true, false)

and this on the submit button, onselect; Set(buttonPressed, "Button1_4");

the above didn't work for me, please may i have some help please, what have i got wrong here?

Thanks

I think you just need to set your variable to a Boolean value, not a text value. Assuming this variable is only used for this one function, try this:

For your submit button, OnSelect:
Set(buttonPressed,true)

Visible of text label:
buttonPressed

If the user checks in again you can set buttonPressed to false as well to hide your text box again

No need for a global variable. Also, context variable will reset every time the screen is reopened so no need to rehide the label.

Thank you , but where do I type or ‘hardcode’ the text label, “user left’ this is what I would like to show when I press the ‘signout’ button.

Or another solution maybe , when signout button pressed, the row it the galley will disappear , ie there is a list of say 10 names, each time press ‘signout’ galley will show 9 names. But the record will still be in the SP list (just not on the gallery list)

thanks again
