Hello

I have a app that works fine but on initial start up it seems to forget to disable the required buttons.

Once I interact with the form one it then starts behaving itself.

Its a simple form

This is what it looks like on initial startup

this is what is should start like based on the variables

Start button

If(varNewItem.'Active-Session'= false And Checkbox1.Value=false, DisplayMode.Disabled, 
If(varNewItem.'Active-Session'= false And Checkbox1.Value=true, DisplayMode.Edit,
If(varNewItem.'Active-Session'= true And Checkbox1.Value=true, DisplayMode.Disabled)))
 
End Button
 
Set(varNewItem,Patch('Job-Log',LookUp('Job-Log', varNewItem.ID = ID), {'End-Time':Now(),'Active-Session':false}));
UpdateContext({varTimerActive: false});
UpdateContext({varTimerReset: true});
Reset(Timer1);
If(TPMCheck=true,
 Set(TPMCheck,false),
 Set(TPMCheck,true))
 
Thanks for taking the time to read this

Hi,

The only thing I can suggest is to add some Text Labels on the screen and verify what the values are, which should clarify why it's not happening.

When you say "interact" with the form, what exactly does that mean?

Next, I would say that your code is missing a default value.

You have a double level If, but in no way do you have a "if its not any of those, then make it Enabled" (the default) or Disabled)

I would re-write it like this, and there is another way too but I am keeping what you have kinda.

If( (varNewItem.'Active-Session'= false And Checkbox1.Value=false) Or (varNewItem.'Active-Session'= true And Checkbox1.Value=true) , DisplayMode.Disabled , DisplayMode.Edit // varNewItem.'Active-Session'= false And Checkbox1.Value=true I have ignored this as it doesn't matter that its even here. )

Now I see this in the Display Mode for Start,

But I don't see code for the Display Mode or End

I changed it above, because it seems like you are not properly setting your values but without having a way to check them for you and the rest of the code. Hard to fully help.

Thanks for the reply

I added labels for the values

This is the sequence I am getting when starting the app from new

You can see the displaymode code on the buttons is not applied

#1

#2

I check the checkbox and hit the START button, now the displaymodes are working

#3

I press the END button , again the displaymodes are working ( we should see this when first starting the app)

#4

This is what happens when the checkbox is checked, displaymodes working

Then the sequence should start again ,so

Initial state= Start / End buttons disabled / Checkbox unchecked

Checkbox ticked = Start Enabled,

Start button pressed = Start Disabled, End Enabled

End Pressed = Checkbox, unchecked, Start Disabled, End Disabled

than we are back at the initial state.

Like I said before, after going through the sequence once the app works perfectly, its just the initial start that for some reason does not disable the buttons?

Again thanks for your time on this, appreciated

Regards

Geoff
