Resetting a button after use

[helen_pip]

Dear Qlikview User

I have an a action on a button which selects a value within a field

Action Select In Field

I would like to know how I could reset the button after the user has clicked on it.   

After resetting the field, the user should be able to repeat the same process

Any ideas

Kind Regards

Helen

Hello Avinash

Thank you for responding.  I have tried the technique you suggested

I put in the action Select in Field:

I then put another action action which is Clear In Field

This works, but only works once and the user can not re select the value again

I almost need it to work in a loop

Any ideas?

Kind Regards

Helen

Hi Helen,

I'd either do this through a variable so two actions

1- Set variable v_Selected =if(v_Selected =1,0,1)

2- Set field = if(v_Selected =1,'blah','')

Or just use two buttons and hide them alternately so click button one and it makes the selection and it hides button 1 and shows button 2

Button 2 clears the field and hides button 2 and shows button 1
