Hide Main Screen Field from Subscreen Module.

Former Member — Fri, 09 Oct 2015 18:31:30 GMT

Hi All,

Read around on this and it's looking like there isn't a way to accomplish this, but figured I'd ask to be sure.

Does anyone know if there is a way to hide a button on the main screen when a value is updated on a subscreen? Or is there some alternative that I could use that isn't overly complicated and dirty?

Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks,

-Chris

It's a Z program written by my company. Basically there is a main screen 0100 which in it's PBO calls subscreen 0110. The main screen has a button named 'LEVEL_BTN' that I would like to enable or disable based upon a change in value of a dropdown on the subscreen named 'ACCESS'.

I considered doing a CHAIN / FIELD / MODULE call, but I don't think that allows for setting the mainscreen button to inactive as if I do a LOOP AT SCREEN in a subscreen module it will only loop over the subscreen items.

loop on your main screen in PBO, read value of dropdown of ACCESS and change main screen accordingly.
