Change Button Visibility After GetNew in Application Studio

[rad.russ15 (Russell Anderson)]

I am converting a customization from classic to Kinetic. I am trying to enable an “Next Part Number” function on the part entry screen. I have a working function that I can call from a button. Now I want to set the button so it is only visible after the user hits the + button to create a new part record.

I have tried and event to set the Hidden property on the button, but I am not sure on the syntax for the property parameters. This is what I have tried:

Any suggestions or links to the right place in the documentation for this?

I ended up using this method from @hmwillett to enable and disable the button rather that change it’s visibility

Kinetic Layer: Disable button while executing OnClick event

You’re going to want to do a combination of rules and events. Bind your button to a field (it doesn’t have to be real DB column) [image] Add a row-update widget to your button click event that sets something like TransView.Disable to true. Add a second one after your function call that will set it back to false. [image] Create a rule that checks the state of TransView.Disable and disable the column you bound your button to if true. This will auto reverse if false [image] [DisableFun…

1. Bind the button to a field (doesn’t have to be a real DB column)
   

   

2. Create rule to disable button based on TransView field
   

   

3. Set TransView field on FormLoad to disable button
   
   

4. Set TransView field after GetNewPart to enable button
   
   

5. Set TransView field to disable the button again
   
   

Seems to work.

Any feedback on this appreciated.

I found the way to make the button appear and disappear. Instead of using the “Disable” action in the rule, I used the “SettingStyle” Action - which has an invisible option:

Seems pretty obvious now that I’ve found it.
