Conditional INSERT button

[walter.dasilva]

Hi,

How to hide INSERT button if form was called as popup?

Thanks

Hi Walter,

I suppose that the popup call is made from a specific procedure. I.e. Not the browse which normally calls the insert, update delete or view?
In that case you can put a test for the parent procedure on the insert button.

E.g.:        loc:parent <> 'caller'

Where caller is the specific procedure that makes the popup call.
Make sure that the procedure name is all lower case or else your test won't work.

Hi Walter,

Rene points out a good tip - you can use loc:parent to determine where the procedure came from, and that's really useful for conditional behavior.

but to answer your specific question - you know if the procedure is in popup mode if loc:popup = 1.

so, if you set the Insert button condition to

Loc:Insert = 0

update : sorry I mistyped... should be

 Loc:Popup = 0

That'll hide the insert button in popup mode.

cheers
