Conditional Help
 

OnShow="
Parent.Parent.MakeLarge.LargeReady ? Parent.Parent.MakeLarge.Press=true : ''"

Should that work?

My goal is to get a button to be pressed but only if another data element is set to true.

So far it fires no matter whatever the data element is set to.

Your syntax looks incorrect. And looking at it a second time, needlessly complicated.

I'm not exactly sure what your code wants to do... but I'm guessing this is more what you want.

Parent.Parent.MakeLarge.Press=Parent.Parent.MakeLarge.LargeReady

This would be exactly the same as:
Parent.Parent.MakeLarge.Press=Parent.Parent.MakeLarge.LargeReady ? true : false

Synax:
ValueToBeAssigned=BooleanValue ? ValueIfBooleanTrue : ValueIfBooleanFalse

Unless this was changed I don't think so. The .Press command disregards the argument, so it would fire even on Press=false. You must use .Activated for stuff like this.

*shrug* I've never used buttons to run scripting through scripting so I guess I wouldn't know. Supposedly Buttons and Pages are both direct children of Widgets, but it seemed cleaner to me to use the simpler object to contain my scripts instead of using a UI element that expects input but is getting it simulated.

Regardless, I stand by what I said about the incorrect syntax and the comparison of complexities. What was originally written would have had the same problem regardless of the event triggered.

Yea .Press fires regardless of argument so that was why I was trying the conditional. I will look into .Activated.

Thanks for the input.

Edit: Figured out another way to achieve the same goal. Now I just want to try to fix the dropdown problem. ;)
