Comparing a variable with a string seems not working

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

I three buttons that each one sets the same variable through an action.

for example:

button A -> sets Var = 'A'

button B -> sets Var = 'B'

button C -> sets Var = 'C'

then I have three containers, which they are visible depending on Var value, for example, I set the condition for each one:

container A -> =if(Var = 'A',1,0) // it means, if var='A' then container A is visible, otherwise container A is hidden

container B -> =if(Var = 'B',1,0)

container C -> =if(Var = 'C',1,0)

If I click on button A for example, container A should be visible, but containers B and C hidden

If I click on button B for example, container A should be visible, but containers A and C hidden

If I click on button C for example, container A should be visible, but containers A and B hidden

Variable Var is correctly set on each button click with the correct value but the problem is:

If container B is hidden and I click on button B, then container B remains hidden and it should be visible. It seems like condition set in container always execute the 'else' part of the if statement.

Any ideas?

Try these conditions

Var = 'A'

Var = 'B'

Var = 'C'

No need to add the if statement

Great! Sunny!

But using $(Var)

$(Var) = 'A'

$(Var) = 'B'

$(Var) = 'C'

Anyway correct answer for you
