Hi,

In the OnVisible property of your screen, create a Context Variable and set it's value to false.

 UpdateContext({cVisible: false})

 

Then set the calandar controls Visible property to to the context variable, in this example that would be cVisible

 

On the check box control set the OnCheck property to update the Context variable

 UpdateContext({cVisible: true})

 

You can reset the context variable in the checkbox OnUnCheck property to reset as well

to get a toggle effect.

 UpdateContext({cVisible: false})

 

Hope this helps.

    I was looking in to how to use the Visible because it isn't straight foward when I started to think it's going to need to be set on the page load. Then I saw you had it all spelled out. NICE! thank you (Y)

        Hi Rodney,

        Have you used this capability with multiple checkboxes? I have a set of checkboxes within a gallery, but it only shows as checkbox1 so I'm not able to reference the rest of the checkboxes. Could you offer any insight on this?

      Create a Context Variable in the OnVisible property of your Screen

       

      Set the Visible property of the Calendar control to the Context Variable

       

      Change the Context Variable accordingly with the OnCheck and UnCheck properties of your Toggle Control.

       

      Hope this helps.

        Thanks! It is working. Only problem is that it is affecting all the dates when I check/uncheck. Can it be done so it only affect the relevant date on the record it belongs to?

    These were short and sweet instructions! Very elegant!!!

     

    I modified this to work on a search box, hid the gallery until something was entered on the search box. Turned on a loading icon until data was retuned. It worked really well!

    Thank you.
