    On the MA64.1 form I added a button to the Detail lines object. When the form is first displayed the added button is displayed on every Detail line row. I want to hide the button on each row until the FORM_OnAfterTransaction function is called where I then only want to unhide the button if the row has data.  

     

    Anyone have an idea how to accomplish this?

      I would set the button.value="" after the form initialize and then on after transaction. In the on after, I would then get the form value of a field in the line and if a value exists, set the button.value="Click me"

        If you are using Lawson 10 you may need to do something like this:

        for(var i = 0; i < 12; i++) {  // Change this to the number of lines you have.
          my_button = lawForm.getFormElement("push1",i); // Get a reference to the image button 
          my_button.style.visibility = 'hidden';  // Hide the button.
        }
         
        Then to show the button use my_button.style.visibility = 'visible';  // Show the button.

          in the scripte, use the .style.visibility property to hide/show...

          in FORM_Oninit(), add code to hide the button.

          // change cursor to hand & make invisible the custom change button
          var objChangeBtn = lawForm.getFormElement("imgchange");
          if (objChangeBtn) {
          objChangeBtn.style.cursor="hand";
          objChangeBtn.style.visibility="hidden";
          }

          In FORM_OnAfterTransaction()

          var objChangeBtn = lawForm.getFormElement("imgchange");
          if (objChangeBtn) {
          objChangeBtn.style.visibility="visible";
          }
          Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!
