Hello,

Im trying to imply a condition where once the button is pressed, it will not patch again the data. but the button is not giving the desirable results.

the result which i want is:

when the check in is pressed it will patch the data and change the showbutton to false so the user cannot patch the data again.

or pls help me if i can do this in another way.

global variable set on onstartonselect property of button where im implying this condition.

I found it strange that you are using the Set and UpdateContext function to update the same variable. It remains to be seen how you are doing with the Button's Display mode property. If the variables are used through the app, use Set, otherwise use UpdateContext. Then, in the Display Mode property of the Button, check the value of the variable, if it is true, then display mode will be disabled, otherwise, edit.
Like this:
In my example I'm using global variable, so in App.OnStart:
Set(checkin_pressed, false)

btnCheckIn.OnSelect:
btnCheckIn.DisplayMode:

btnCheckOut.OnSelect:
btnCheckOut.DisplayMode:

Result:

There are other ways but I believe this can put you on the right path.

So you are saying i should only use Set() throughout my app?
And im making my buttons visible and invisible by use of it.
And i also want my app to remember the last button i pressed because when i close it, it resets even if i pressed only checkin before closing it and next time when i start my app it shows checkin visible and checkout invisible.
