Posted on by Michaelvkempen

I am currently working on an inspection app.
in the app you get 3 options when you get to a question.
- OK
- N.V.T. ( not aplicable)
- NOK

When the "green" OK button is pressed the rectangle on the overview page must be colored green.
When the "grey" N.V.T. button is pressed the rectangle on the overview page must be colored grey.
When the "red" NOK button is pressed the rectangle on the overview page must be colored red.

How can I make this work????

@Michaelvkempen First set a variable in each one of the buttons,

In the OnSelect of the OK button,

UpdateContext({rectangleColour: Color.Green})

In the OnSelect of the N.V.T. button,

UpdateContext({rectangleColour: Color.Gray})

In the OnSelect of the NOK button,

UpdateContext({rectangleColour: Color.Red})

Finally, set the Fill property of the rectangle to,

rectangleColour

Use a global variable, Set(rectangleColour, Color.Green)

thanks for your fast reply.
in my app there are more than 1 question so i transformed the "rectanglecolour" to "rectanglecolour1"
also there is another command in there which makes it move to the next question page.
now the problem with the new command you just gave the problem is that the button does nothing and gives an red cross.
I changed the Set(rectangleColour, Color.Green) to Set(rectangleColour; Color.Green) than the red cross disappears but the rectangle still wont's change color on the other screen.

one way is to place a rectangle on the screen where the button is which colors to the first codes you gave me.
and then place another rectangle on the overview page which than takes over the color of the rectangle on the button page but that is a little bit cumbersome.

@CNT have you found a fix for the colouring? the way i made it work at the moment is to place a rectangle on the page where the buttons are. on the overview page i placed another rectangle wich has the name of the rectangle on the button page. this way it takes the colour over. a single working rectangle isn't working yet
