Button to show fields?
Hi.
Right now I'm using a checkbox to make some fields appear in my view. I would like to make a button do the job, so there are less fields in my table. Any clue about it?
Thanks
G

you can use a "switch SI-NO" like a button and in "Visible if" of text filed use the code:
'switch SI-NO"= true

Ok thanks so much. That works perfectly, but doesn't change the fact that a yes/no switch is needed anyway. I guess having a button for that purpose it's just a matter of design 'cause the switch is actually doing the job.

I, also, am interested in a button for this purpose. Until now, I did what "Andrea" suggested with a switch. Yes, works perfectly, but a button would be better because bigger so easier to click, and has three color options. Any clue about it?

Yes! We can do exactly that with buttons.
Birger gave the solution in another thread two weeka ago. Thank you, Birger.
Just now I followed his instructions and it worked as you want. (If you wish, I can provide screen prints with the button formulas.)
Here is the thread: https://tinyurl.com/ybo7b5px
(Note: Using the "search" function on this forum was no help at all. I had to use the AI program I've mentioned previously to find the solution.)

Leo - Thank you for that link to dropbox. But I can not access whatever it is. Is it possible for you to paste a screen print here?
I'm very interested to see it, and to learn more about buttons in NX. Probably some other people here, also.
Thank you.

Ah, very nice.
Here is a screen print of the formula Leo used in the button:
(Thank you, Leo, for "pushing" me to "try again". I appreciate that. I am not familiar with Dropbox, and I am very cautious about downloading anything. But this was good to learn. It will be very useful many places. Whenever you have more good ideas, I look forward to seeing.)

I did not understand everything at first. There is more clever thinking in Leo's button (above) than I realized.
1) Yes, it does show/hide fields.
2) It changes color depending on show/hide status.
3) The button also changes it's name, depending on status.
This is very fine thinking. If Leo would make a video, anyone who sees this would be impressed. Or you can download the database he offers above. (The database is only one record.)
Here is a screen print showing "more options".

This is great. Let's make a toast at Leo's solution.
