Hey,

I need to disable a button when clicking on it, according to a given value of a field. I test the value, if it matches, i leave the button (using go_item), and then I set the enabled property of the button to false, but that is not working.
I tried to use the "visible" property and it worked perfectly.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Rajy

Where are you setting the enabled property to false? I am sure you are doing it in the W-B-P trigger of the button

In the W-N-I-I trigger of the GO_ITEM field enable or disable the button.

Dear,

That's true. I'm using it on the W-B-P trigger, and thank you for your solution, it worked fine.
BUT, I want to let you know that other buttons in the same data block are working fine when pressing on them (they are disabled). All the buttons use the same procedure to be enabled/disabled.

Let me explain my case:
I have an OCX element where "multipage" documents can be scanned to. Under this control, I need to show the index of the current page, and let the user navigate between pages. For that, I've added four buttons:

  • First Page
  • Previous Page
  • Next Page
  • Last Page

When I am on the first page, the "PREVIOUS PAGE" and "FIRST PAGE" buttons must be disabled, and these ones are working fine (disabled when pressing on them).
When I am on the last page, the "NEXT PAGE" and "LAST PAGE" buttons must be disabled, but these one are not working, and here is my problem.
I was wondering, why the first two buttons are working perfectly, and the second two buttons are not, although they use the same syntax, and that why I haven't thought about your solution.

Thank you again.

Rajy
