Hello,

I am trying to build a pop up for many screens.

I know i can build a popup without making it a component but I don't really want to lose the benefits of doing so.

I've tried just referring to the component'sName.height or .visible but that doesnt work

My question is, inside a component, how can I modify the components visibility from clicking a button inside it?

Hello @ANB,
I am trying to create a pop up as shown:
The idea is to show some data in this pop up and after it is seen, the user will close the popup seeing only the project screen (the screen that can be seen below in red colors).

I am building this component as follows:
In this picture you will notice that I am trying to set to false the component's visibility through the icon onSelect event, however, when I run the app and click the icon the component remains visible, leading me to believe that the children within the component cannot refere to the component itself.

Hi @JuanArango ,This is how i created the component.
On select of cancel button which is inside the component, i have set a global variable: Set(gblvar_visible, false)
Then the OnReset property of component itself, I have set that variable to true : Set(gblvar_visible, true)
Then created one custom output property of component as out1 of Boolean type and used the global variable as gblvar_visible
Now, just add this component to screen and set the visible property of component to Component1_1.out1.
Now, you need to fire the Reset(Component1_1), that can be done on click of button or on the OnVisible of screen.
