i have a form with a displaymode.disable until the first combobox of this form(only this guy is displaymode.edit) is onchange.

this works fine. but i need to make the same with a label, two icons and a inputtext outside of this form and i dont found a way to take anything of inside de form (like onchange to change a variable for example, or change some behavior inside form to change a behavior outside of the form)

how do i do that?

What is the form mode? is it new or edit. are you trying to edit records? or just make new ones. is there a value in the item property of the form?

If you are not using a new form and do not have a valid item for the form sometimes this causes issues where the fields appear as though they are blank.

let me try explain better.. i have a form wich comes with displayMode.edit. but in this form all fileds is displaymode.disable, in exception od the combobox1, in combobox1 i have some options, if i select the option 1 some specifics fields of the form must be change to displaymode.edit. at the same time i have a textinput outside of the form wath must be have the same behavior with especific selection of combobox1. all fields inside the form works fine but when i try to make the same with the textinput this dont work.
in the combobox1 onchange property i have tryed with a variable(Set(variablechangeview;1)) and in displaymode of the textinput (if(variablechangeview=1;displaymode.edit;displaymode.disable))
i was tryng to see the behavior of the variable, and i put a label outside of the form and the value dont change when i change the combobox1. if i try this inside que form works

take the test on your side.
create a form with any field from any source that is a combobox with two options.
in the onchange property, put this If(combobox1.selected.value=option1,set(vartest,1),set(vartest,2) and create a label out of this form and in the text property put vartest, the value should change but it doesn't happen . another attempt was
in the inputtext property I put this
If(
!IsBlank(DataCardValue37.Selected.Value); //Combobox1
Switch(
DataCardValue37.Selected.Value;
"value1";
displaymode.edit;
"value2";
Displaymode.disable
)

on items inside the form it works but on items outside the form it doesn't
