Unable to clear/reset label.Text through button click

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by colonel_claypoo 161

Hi,

I have a label's .Text property set to User().Email to display the user's email address when the screen is active. Next, I have a button that, among other things, should reset the label's .Text property to "". Unfortunately, I'm unable to accomplish this. I know how it works with text input fields (reset or updateContext) but can't figure out how to do this with labels.

 

I tried an if-statement like: If(button_1.pressed, "", User().Email) but that didn't work.

 

Thanks for the help.

    Hi,

     

    You could use a context variable to set the Label.Text property:

     

    • On the OnVisible property of your screen, set the variable : UpdateContext({LabelValue:User().Email})
    • On the Text property of your Label to the value of the context variable : LabelValue
    • On the OnSelect property of your button, update your context variable : UpdateContext({LabelValue:""})

    Cheers,

    Théo

    Excellent. Thank you, that worked. I just had to reload the app otherwise the 'OnVisible' for Screen1 was not working and the User().Email property would not show in the label.
