Show/Hide Text Object Automatically

[NewToQV]

Good morning,

I have setup some variables in my QV document in addition to two buttons and text objects.

LET vShow1=1;
LET vShow2=1;

My buttons also change their text conditionally 

=If(vShow1=0,'Show', 'Hide') & ' First Table'

=If(vShow2=0,'Show', 'Hide') & ' Second Table'

My two text objects (which contain images) are shown conditionally by vShow1=1 and vShow2=1.

Now when I click each button the image shows and hides accordingly just as designed and the button text changes from Show First Table, to Hide First Table etc. depending on whether or not it is showing or not. 

However is it possible to automatically hide 'vShow1' if vShow2 is shown? vice versa? Further explained. if the "First Table" is showing, and I click the second button, the following would occur. The button text should now say 'Show First Table' and the First Table text image object would hide, and the second image would unhide, and the text in the second button object would change to "Hide Second Table". 

Thank you in advance. I'm very new to QV and any help or suggestions would be great.

In properties under layout Show conditional. add appropriate variables. i.e vShow1 = 0

I've been able to achieve autohiding multiple objects by creating a variable. In this case 'vShowTable'.

I then created my buttons and assigned a 'Set Variable' action and used my 'vShowTable' for the action variable and then chose the Value I wanted to assign. 

Then in my text object images, I chose to conditionally show vShowTable='Assigned Value'.

This way, only one variable was needed. Any button I click will automatically show the text object images associated with that value. If I click another button with another value, the text objects automatically hide that aren't associated with it, and the new text objects are shown. Thanks everyone.
