Hiding Insert/Change/Delete buttons based on a value in the highlighted record

Hi Bruce
In the CIDC Nettalk seminar I asked how I could hide/unhide these buttons based on a value in the highlighted record
Example
If I do not want to allow a change on a record if the value is (say) REC:status = 2
As I understood it from you on the Form tab of the Browse in the Show Buttons change I would check the include Change Button and put a Condition for it to appear in the Condition field.
Firstly: what should the format be? I have added the REC:Status to the View Fields.
'REC:Status <> 2'
or REC:Status <> 2
or p_web.GSV('REC:Status') <> 2
Secondly, and vitally,  when I put a trace in the GenerateUpdateButtonsBelow routine in the Start of "Set jQuery Update Buttonset Options" embed point which is where this condition appears this trace only appears once while a browse is being generated. Selecting different rows do not call this routine again which means (as I understand it) that it cannot be testing the highlighted record to determine if the change button should be included or hidden.

welcome back Bruce. Really enjoyed the presentation. Anxiously waiting the downloads so I can review (and improve my coding

downloads should be up soonish Terry. It gets changed into download form by playing it through a converter from the stream - so takes at least 2 full days to do. And it's unlikely to be the next 2 days <g>. You can of course access the streams immediately.

condition is clarion code, so
REC:Status <> 2

It appears in GenerateUpdateButtonsAbove, GenerateUpdateButtonsBelow and the value::fieldname routine (if there are inline buttons)
Because the condition is based on the row it doesn't make sense to put a change button below the brows as well - use the in-row change button instead.

Thanks Bruce. Yes makes sense. I couldn't see any changes to the button below as I moved from record to record
