I have a portal to display line items for an invoicing solution. I've inserted a small graphic into the portal row and set it as a button to delete the row when pressed. When I create a record in the portal, it always shows the button on the next line. I've seen other solutions where this is not the case, but cannot figure out how to fix it?

If you allow creation through the portal, the graphic will show. You probably have two options:

1. Script creation of related records

2. create a new calc in the child table along the lines of

_c_xToShow= calc, container

(Case

not IsEmpty (PK_KEY);

containerX

)

Since I always script record creation, I haven't used the calc above, so it may need to be modified to account for your field and table names.

Good luck!

I do it this way:

PortalButton.fp7.zip

How are able to keep the button from displaying on the next portal record?

Hint... select the icon and then look under number format --> Format as boolean.

BTW, you are probably going to want to script the actual delete process instead of just using delete portal row so you can test to see if the related record exists in order for the user not to see the delete dialog.
