Can you use a buttons AutoDisableOnSelect to control other things?

I like visual confirmation that something is happening and would like to add a 70% transparent rectangle over a gallery item, but I want the visibility to change with the buttons "AutoDisableOnSelect" action. Basically, when the button goes disabled while a patch process is running I want the rectangle to be visible, and when the button goes back to edit I want the rectangle visibility set back to false.

I know I can do this via timers, but then you're stuck with whatever time you set. Some buttons processes are fast, some take longer.

Hi @wwmn ,
Set a variable on button select: Set(varProcessing, true)
Use that variable to control the visibility of the rectangle: Rectangle.Visible = varProcessing
Once your process is complete, set the variable to false: Set(varProcessing, false)
If you think my solution is helpful for you, then please accept it. 😊

Hi @wwmn,

You will have to use variables to keep track of the processing state. I have added an example below:

//Button OnSelect Set(varLoading, true); <your code here> Set(varLoading, false)

//Rectangle Visible property varLoading

This approach is often used when working with custom loading spinners.

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

Thanks!

Well crap, it never occurred to me to just use variables before and after the patch function.. I was thinking too deep!
