Power apps - Show/Hide Button

[Emilio]

I'd like to create a button that when selected shows a form in the same screen (the form is very small for a tablet template).

Then, when the form is submitted the form shoud hide itself again.

Is it possible to do that?

HI

UpdateContext is the best syntax to trigger an action of an Object.

Set the Visible property of form:

- Form. Visible = vis (or any name you like as a Context Variable)

Insert a Button with

- Button.Onselect = UpdateContext({vis: true})        This will trigger the form to be VISIBLE

Then, when you submit, you press the Submit Button (or any name), and please include this at the END of the Submit function:

- SubmitButton.Onselect = Submit(Form),..........; UpdateContext({vis: false})

NOTE:

If you navigate from another screen, always remember to have your screen (which contains this Form and Button) written with:
- Screen.OnVisible = UpdateContext({vis: false}).

Reason: UpdateContext is always acting in Pair (that is true / false or false / true). Otherwise, it will sometimes not reacting.

Hope this helps.

Have a nice day.

Hi, 

Where should be this formula written? 

NOTE:

If you navigate from another screen, always remember to have your screen (which contains this Form and Button) written with:
- Screen.OnVisible = UpdateContext({vis: false})

Plan is to: Every single time when I open the "edit screen" button "send" should be hidden until form is submitted. 

The question is where to put this formula on screen?

EDIT:

Found it....

It should be screen and 'Onvisible'
