Need text to show when radio buttons blank

Posted on by nsjohnson86

I have a radio button control on my app but I want this text label to show when nothing is selected on the radio button. Then have the text go away when someone makes a selection.

Right now I have the below in my OnSelect field of the radio control:

If(Radio1.Selected.Value=“Fifth Floor”,”Sixth Floor”,”Seventh Floor”, “Tenth Floor”, Set(Var_Visible,true),Set(Var_Visible,False))

This is what I have in the Visible field of the text:

Var_Visible

Now my text doesn’t show at all whether something is selected in the radio control or not.
Please Help!

Hi @nsjohnson86 ,

The conditions were not correct since the first half was missing on the last 3.

Also the conditions themselves return a boolean which you can use to set the value of the variable:

Set( Var_Visible, Radio1.Selected.Value="Fifth Floor" || Radio1.Selected.Value="Sixth Floor" || Radio1.Selected.Value="Seventh Floor" || Radio1.Selected.Value="Tenth Floor" )

So I don’t need the IF part of my condition in the beginning? Is what you put above what I should change my radio button condition to?

Hi @nsjohnson86 ,

Indeed the If function is indeed not needed. You can replace your current formula for the OnSelect property of the radio control with the formula I posted.

That didn’t work, I just get an error.
I put the condition as you put above and put commas where you put the double lines.

I also left the visible field as var_visible for my text

Hi @nsjohnson86 ,

The double lines ( || ) are logical Or operators and should be left there as they are. Please copy the formula as I posted it.

I corrected my formula and put exactly what you have, but I want the text to not be visible when a radio button is selected.

It is still there when I select any of the floor options.

Hi @nsjohnson86 ,

Apologies, I got confused because of the formula you posted which seemed to suggest you wanted the text to show in case certain values were selected in the Radio control.

To only have a control showing when nothing is selected in the radio control, set its' Visible property to:

IsBlank(Radio1.Selected.Value)
