Problem with a reference to data from combobox and dropbox.

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 102
So my problem looks like this:
I have form with a combobox/dropbox(I tested it with both of this controls so I will write like that). Then for property Items=["Cat","Mouse","Dog"].
Now I want to make a checkbox visible only when the item selected is for example "Cat". I use expression like that: Visible=If(ComboBox1.Selected.Value="Cat", true, false).
It does not work, makes always my checkbox not visible. 
I tested it even further....I just put text label, and I always see it black like the element does not exist outside the combobox/dropbox. 
Can anyone help me? 
Thanks a lot!

    You really only need this in the Visible property
    ComboBox1.Selected.Value = "Cat"
    Based on what you have posted, it should work.

    I did not solve the problem with a reference in Visible propery. I solved it with DisplayMode property. Here the reference works just fine. This is interesting
