Setting DisplayMode of a button from another button

Posted on by JohnJDB

Hi,

I have a button that has an onSelect function of

If(butStartPA.DisplayMode = DisplayMode.Disabled, butStartPA.DisplayMode=DisplayMode.Edit,butStartPA.DisplayMode.Disabled)

butStartPA being another button.

I put this in test mode, click on the > run option and it doesnt do anything. I've read you can get a button to set its own DisplayMode dependant on another control, but want to do this by clicking on a button. Is this possible?

@JohnJDB ,

Use a local variable to control the display mode status of the Start PA button control.

Set the Start PA display mode property to:

StartPAButtonMode (just an example)

And set On Select property of the Access button to:\

If(StartPAButtonMode=DisplayMode.Disabled, UpdateContext({StartPAButtonMode:DisplayMode.Edit}), UpdateContext({StartPAButtonMode:DisplayMode.Disabled}) )

Hope it helps !

Thanks for the alternative pattern @gabibalaban .

So is it not possible to set the properties of a control directly from another control then?

Yes, that's right. You cannot set a control property using directly reference.
