Hide/Unhide Browse EDIT buttons based on a Value in Highlighted row

[britech]

Hi folks,

Is it possible to Hide or Unhide the Browse edit buttons at Run-Time , based on a value in a highlighted record column?
I have some records, that at various stages, they progress from 'Ordered', 'Dispatched', 'Picked Up', etc.
I want the end user to be able to change a record, but only before the status changes to 'Dispatched' .
Is there a mechanism available to do the hide and unhide of the <Change> and <Delete> buttons at Run-time?

Looking foreward to any feedback.
Thanks in advance.
Brian

I think if they are buttons on the Browse you may be able to use the options in the conditional tab, display options to disable them based on a condition. The condition needs to go on the button field. I have done this with EIP fields on a browse and not buttons so not sure 100% if it will work but worth a try.

Thanks Kevin,

I see that it is possible when the buttons are in the row. Unfortunately, I'm tight for space in the browse already.
I was hoping (not a particulalry solid business plan), that we could intercept something when a row is selected.

Perhaps I'll try intercepting the Change button and testing the record for eligibility at that point before they can actually change anything.

Appreciate the input.
Cheers,
Brian

The other option if your browse is a field on a form is to add your own insert, change, delete buttons and every time a user clicks the browse check for the condition, update your SSV and refresh the buttons.
