How to write a simple if function

As a Power BI user learning to use Power Apps, I am struggling quite hard with the syntax of writing functions.

I am trying to write an IF function using Display Mode to disable a text box based on the user's response.

I have a radio selection with 3 choices, 3rd party, customer, and own company.
The next entry party is name and address. If own company is selected, we do not need this information. Therefore, what is the exact syntax to write this? I would guess it would be this...but it's not working.

If(Responsible Party = "own company"),DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)

Clearly this is not right. Help would be appreciated as this transition has been pretty difficult. Thanks!

Try this:

If(RadioName.Selected.Value = "own company",DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)

@eka24 should my property be "DisplayMode"?

Place the formula on the DisplayMode property of the Textbox

@water-guy-5

Isn't this the same one as yesterday? Except it was on the Visible property?

Yes, however yesterday was based on if a text box was empty or contained text. Today, I am trying to perform a similar end result based on what is selected between 3 responses within a radio. Syntax is different, and I am struggling a bit.
