Buttons visibility

Posted on by pablik01

Hello, I have two buttons. One to add, the other to cancel. I would like the cancel button to appear after clicking add, and at the same time the add button should disappear, and vice versa, if I click cancel, cancel disappears and add appears.

So far, I've been doing it this way: I set a variable in the Visibility of the add button

addVis

and a variable in the cancel button

cancVis

in the on select add button

UpdateContext({addVis:false});;
UpdateContext({cancVis:!cancVis});;

in the on select cancel button

UpdateContext({cancVis:false});;
UpdateContext({addVis:!addVis});;

but there is some mix-up of buttons after starting

Hi @pablik01

In the Onvisible of the screen can you add this:
UpdateContext({addVis:true});; UpdateContext({cancVis:false});;
You are doing it correctly but the UpdateContext starts as Blank so you need to set that first.
If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊

Hi @pablik01 ,

At first sight the code should do the trick. 😊

Make sure you define a start value for the Add button in the Screen OnVisible property otherwise the start values of those variables will be blank (returning false).

//Screen OnVisible UpdateContext({addVis:true})

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution & give it a thumbs up.

Thanks!

Hi @pablik01

I believe the issue is by default those variables will not have values so it throws it off.

Option 1
So you have to either use the App.OnStart to set the values properly first, aka if you want Add visible first, then I would set that variable to true, and your Cancel to false.

Option 2
There is another option you can do also. This would make it so you dont need to use Global Variables, as you would in the previous option

In your App.OnStart, add a Variable like this
Set(FirstTimeRun, true);

Now, in the OnVisible property of the Form
If(FirstTimeRun, UpdateContext({cancVis:false}); UpdateContext({addVis:true}); Set(FirstTimeRun, false); )
this way you can set the values, initially and it should work going forward.

If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

Cheers
