Disabling a button?

(0) Share

Posted on by Daemetius

Greetings,

I'm having an issue with trying to make a button become disabled after it's been pressed once. I tried following the solution in this post but it simply doesn't work. I get "error token" under the button's name in the OnSelect field. I feel like the way one disables a control changed since then.

What I need is once the button was pressed, run a process which works and then disable itself. Right now it runs fine, but the disabling part doesn't work...it keeps the button up there.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

On the displayType put a variable in that, and onSelect on the button execute an UpdateContext on the variable you enabled on displayType - should work ok.

I'm a bit confused on what you mean. When you say "On the displayType put a variable in that..." you refer to the button?

Display Mode set to DisplayMode.Disabled will grey out your button. So on the OnSelect of the button use UpdateContext ({DisplayMode : DisplayMode.Disabled}) (or sometihng like that) and then put that variable in this exanple 'DisplayMode' in DisplayMode advanced setting on the button properties - this should work fine. I will quickly test and send you accurate code later on if that will help

Worked like a charm!

Although I'm curious. Is there way to have such button disabled for only a specific record of a list? I noticed it disables the button for all items in a list

So I have the button in the "Detail Screen". So if I have:
List

Item A
Item B
Item C

When I click Item A, the button is there. I press it and it is disabled.
Now If I go to Item B Detail Screen, the button is still grayed out. I was wondering if it's possible to have it enabled and have the same process for that item only?

Thank you again for your help on the button matter!
