Simple toggle button to lock selection

[hobanwashburne]

Does anyone know of an example where a button is used to Lock/unlock a selection in a particular list box? I imagine that I'll have to actually have two buttons (one to lock and one to unlock) and a "hide/show" variable depending on the condition.

But the condition I need to check against is:

if (Listbox A is locked show unlock button, else show lock button)

You should be able to use a single button and change the text based on the value of the variable something like:

=if(vLock = 1,'Unlock','Lock')

The action would be:

=if(vLock = 1,0,1)

Go to Properties > Actions > Add > Unlock Field > Add Field

Click on Add Again > External > Set Variable > Add variable vLock and set it to 0

Add another button but select Unlock Field.

Click on Add Again > External > Set Variable > Add variable vLock and set it to 1

Then on show hide add something like if(vLock = 1) on the one button and the other button if(vLock = 0).

Place these 2 buttons at the exact same location in your model before you set the conditional hide / show. This way you will never know its actually 2 different buttons.

This should do what you want it to do.
