Posted on by soumitra

I have an the following code on the OnVisible property of the screen:

Set(varShowImagebox, false)

I have another icon whose OnSelect property has

Set(varShowImagebox, true)

I have a text box for testing purposes whose Text field has

varShowImagebox

But when i click on the icon the textbox value does not change.

Tried it, doesn't change. I have it as the text value just to see if the value of varShowImagebox changes on click of the icon.

@soumitra ,

To be clear,

You have an icon with the OnSelect of Set(varShowImagebox, true)

The value of varShowImageBox is false

It remains false after you press the icon

@soumitra ,

The only possibility is that you have a context variable with the same name (you have set this)

UpdateContext({varShowImagebox:false})

or you have a bug in the app - try another icon.

Hi @soumitra ,

I suggest to try the below.

Keep 3 icons - Save, Edit, Cancel
Keep the default Save Icon Visible : false
Keep the Code on Edit Icon On Select - Set(varIconVisible,true);
Keep the Code on Cancel Icon On Select -Set(varIconVisible,false);
Keep a label Text : varIconVisible

This will work as expected 🙂 You can change the icons as per your need.

@DeviKrishna ,

Thank you for your input, but it does not explain why the OnSelect of the current icon does not change the value of the Variable.

Hi @WarrenBelz
I assumed that the variable value was not reset and hence onselect was always showing true.
That's y introduced the cancel icon to reset the variable value to false.

Hi @DeviKrishna ,

I was just trying to keep on topic as @soumitra has stated the Variable is false and will not set to true (which makes no real sense unless there is something conflicting such as a context variable which will take precedent),

faced a similar issue. Please rename the variable and try. if global and local variables are of the same name, It will always show your local value.
