visible/hide buttons

[ENRM]

Hi.

Want two buttons on top of each other. When I press button1, button2 is displayed and button1 is hidden and vice versa. How do I do that?

I have tried this, but get an error (See attachment photo)

In the visible property of Button1;

!Knapp2.Visible

In the visible property of Button2;

!Knapp1.Visible

Your method will not work because you have created conditions in each button that are dependent on one another.  This is known as a circular referernce.  You must change one of your formulas to some other condition.

When should each button be visible?  What are the specific conditions in your app?

In the visible property of Button1;

!Knapp2.Visible

In the visible property of Button2;

!Knapp1.Visible

@mdevaney   I thought of having a toggle control and a save button. When you press the toggle, the save button appears. After storage, the toggle returns.

If you want to use a toggle you can connect the buttons to them like this:

In the visible property of Button1;

toggle1.Value

In the visible property of Button2;

!toggle1.Value

@mdevaney Not quite like I do not want it.
Once you have filled out the form, I will confirm it by pressing toggle1. Then the save button (Button3) is displayed. After Patch I want to switch1 to appear again, and button 3 disappears.

If I go in and out of the app, then it's fine until the next time I enter data. But my problem is if I have to fill in new data without exiting the app.

Not so well explained, I think.

The following will work based on your description.

Create a Variable to use as your Visible flag for the two buttons.

Set( blnToggle, false );

For your two button set ones Visible property = blnToggle, set the others to !blnToggle.   In both OnSelect() event for the buttons add the following:

Set( blnToggle, !blnToggle );

This will toggle visibility between the two buttons.

I hope this is what you were looking for.
