I have a list (not in a portal) and a button at the end of each row.  The button is to delete the entry if required.  The button shows up on every list entry and clutters up the look.  How can I get the button to only show for the selected record in the list please?

 

Thanks.

Hi, And welcome to the forums.

I believe it was for this reason that the Get(ActiveRecordNumber) function was added in version 17 (although it still doesn't work in List view without refreshing the object).

If you're using version 16, you will have to create a script that does:

Set Variable [ $$activeRecordID; Value:Get (RecordID) ]
Refresh Object [ Object Name: "myButton" ]

and trigger it to run OnRecordLoad.

Then give your button an object name and make it hide when:

$$activeRecordID ≠ Get (RecordID)

 

Fantastic.  Worked just how I wanted.  Thanks for your help.
