Activating the button based on certain condition

Thanks for the thought but that is not quite what I need to do. I am familiar with showing and hiding objects based on field selections and use that quite a bit. However, what I am attempting to do now is show or hide a list box based on which object itself is selected. In my case i have a dynamic sort expression for a chart (the chart is in a container). Based on the selection in my "Sort" text box changes the sorting of the bar chart. If the chart is no longer the "Active Object" i want to hide the text box using show conditional statement. QlikView can already figure this information out because it uses the Active and Inactive caption functionality, but from what I am finding this does not have any availability for the developer.

for chart in a container i use this way:

    dim ss

    set sheet = ActiveDocument.activesheet

    set ss = sheet.GetProperties

    select case ss.Name

        case "name_a"

            Set ContainerObj= ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("CH01")

        case "name_b"

            Set ContainerObj= ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("CH07")

    end select

Set ContProp=ContainerObj.GetProperties      

vActiveIndex=ContProp.SingleObjectActiveIndex

ActiveDocument.Variables("vActiveIndex").SetContent vActiveIndex, true
