Button Object

varunreddy — Wed, 28 Oct 2015 14:38:52 GMT

Hi,

I am using two button objects.

Field name used - Driver.

1. BCBS - Which is used to select multi field values. i.e, ("A"|"B")

Layout condition used - Always

2. BCBS - Which is used to clear the filed.

Layout condition used - concat(driver) = 'A,B'

What I am doing here is, If I select first button, Second button will popup and if I press second, first will popup.

This is working fine.

The Isuue I am having is, if I select first button, I can see second button, but if I change the tab, second button is hiding and first button is populated. I tried to set second button layout to be top and first button to be bottom, but still second button is hiding.

Is there a way I can solve this?

Regards,

Varun

I don't see why it should not work. Can you may be share a sample where this kind of behavior is taking place?

Varun,

Use a variable and trigger a value into varibale to show button.

Like, for 1st button set variable value as vButton =1 and for second button set variable value as vButton =2 & in button layout conditions use vButton =1 or 2 based on your requirement.

Even when you change tabs the variable value will not change and will populate the button as required.

Thanks

Brad.

It sounds like the buttons are on the same layer, so its possible that button 1 can overlay button 2.

Change button 2 to higher layer than button 1. Then, when button 2 is visible, button 1 will always be hidden. Go to Properties | Layout to set the object's layer,

Hi John,

What do you mean by object's Layer?

The layer is a transparent drawing surface where objects are placed. The higher layer drawing surfaces are drawn over the lower layers, and objects on the higher layer can hide objects on a lower level.
