How to set button's VISIBLE attribute at runtime?

Question

Hi folks,

is it possible to SHOW/HIDE button (set attribute to VISIBLE) created from IDE at runtime before displaying a panel/tabpanel?

For example, I have defined a grid toolbar, with "Insert" (Create New record) button on "TestGrid panel". I would like to display it only if a parameter CanInsert = 1, otherwise do not show this button. [code]

<cell width="20">
        <button name="create" tooltip="Create New" icon="/icons/mainframe/create.png">
          <events>
            <buttonPress action="Create"/>
          </events>
        </button>
      </cell>

How can I do this? What's the package name, which manages buttons, text-fiels, etc ...

Kind regards, Tomas

Hi Tomas,

The package which manages Formspider components(like buttons, textFields, etc..) is api_component, you can set or get component's attributes through this package.

To set button's visible attribute at runtime, you can use api_component.setVisible API. For example, to hide a button named "create" existing on a panel named "TestGrid";

api_component.setVisible('TestGrid.create', 'N')
