Hello

I am trying to reset the Disabled Text Controls when i navigate between Screens. But they are not seems to be working. Not sure where i am doing wrong. Please assist. Posting screenshots.

Text box control to Input the Employee ID.

User clicks on Get Details Button

Now the Details of employee like, Name, Phone number are populated in text boxes. (Disabled as user should not edit)

User input additional details of employee, like last working and Reason for resignation

User click on Update Button. Details will be updated into SharePoint List.

Now when i naviagate between the Screen, the value showed on Text controls with employee details stays ever.

You can't directly set the value of a control from a button. The value of a text control is determined by the formula in the Default property. In your case it is FrmEmp.Name, so if that property still contains the Name it will continue to be displayed when you reset the control. If you are using a form then when you save the data to SharePoint try resetting the form ResetForm( FrmEmp).

You got my point right . But I am not using form to store the data to share point .

the button just get the basic info of employee and displays it . Additional input given in control and will be appended to share point list for the selected record .

so is there no way to reset these values or any other way you could suggest to get the same requirement achieved ?

Hi @venka91

Set the default mode of the form to View. This will prevent editing of the cards. For the controls you want to be able to set to blank, set the display mode of the card to Edit and put

If(!IsBlank(Parent.Default),"") as the default property of the control inside the card.

But I am not using forms . I am using custom controls for all values to be displayed from data source .

i only have the problem resetting these custom control text box as the record I pulled using look up function will be displayed as text . So I want to make the lookup value blank navigate between screen so the text box controls will not display the values and shows empty.

@venka91 ,

I will have a go at this one for you and understand you are using "unbound" text boxes (not in a Form).

As @Jeff_Thorpe noted, you need a "stored" value to set as the Default of the control.

You can also control the ability to edit the Text Box (as @Drrickryp noted) in its DisplayMode (which can be Edit, View or Disabled) - either of the last to are what you need to prevent editing - they just display differently.

So firstly, if you are selecting the record from a LookUp, you can set a Variable to the (entire) record contents

Set( varRecord YourLookUpCode )

The Default of your text boxes would then be (example for Name)

varRecord.Name

So taking this further, if you set another Variable when you want to "clear" the contents.

Set(varClear,true)

you can then conditionally set the contents in the Default

If( varClear, "", varRecord.Name )

Is this what you are asking?
