Hello,

I'm trying to set a variable in the onSelect of an Icon to toggle the height of a container to a specific height after the initial click, then back to parent.height upon the second click. This seems pretty simple, though I can't for the life of me figure out the formula, which is probably right in front of my face.

I suspect you are trying to set the variable to the specific height you want and that probably isn't the best way to do it. Lets say you want the container to be 900 pixels high when you click the icon and then revert to parent. height when you click it again. For that use the following two formulas.

//For the OnSelect of the Icon Set(varToggle, !varToggle); //For the Height of the container if(varToggle, 900, Parent.Height)

It's probably not the best way to do it, but I figured out one way for it to work. I set a context variable to (true) in the onvisible property of the screen, then the same variable to UpdateContext({locConHeight:!locConHeight}), then added an IF statement to the height property of the container - If(locConHeight, 50, parent.height)
