Hi,

I have a save icon that checks is one of the field is a form is filled in to be in edit displaymode

The DisplayMode is set to

If(!IsBlank(DataCardValue77.Selected.'Animal (doa_animal)') Or !IsBlank(DataCardValue78.Selected.'Animal (doa_animal)') Or !IsBlank(Trim(DataCardValue75.Text)),DisplayMode.Edit,DisplayMode.Disabled)
 
If I check by higlighting the displaymode code of the icon it says disabled, still it behaves like enabled
If I set a label to above code it says disabled
If I set another label to IconAccpt1.DisplayMode it says edit
 
I am extremely curious for a logical explanation.

classic icon displaymode not working

Hi @HansHeintz

It would be good to show pictures of the Ux so we can see if its grouped with something else, or layered etc.

What I would do, also, is in the code highlight each section and see if they are true or false, then highlight it all and see what it picks.

Also, you said the label says disabled, but if the label (with words) greyed out? or can you click it?

I'd have to see the screen really and all the parts together to help you resolve it as... something isn't correct, I just cannot tell if its how you are checking, or if its how the screen is designed.

I cannot reproduce it though.

Hi Hans,

I see you are using Or function but I don't see any proper bracket use which is required for OR function can you please change you condition to below code

If(!IsBlank(DataCardValue77.Selected.'Animal (doa_animal)') || !IsBlank(DataCardValue78.Selected.'Animal (doa_animal)') || !IsBlank(Trim(DataCardValue75.Text)),DisplayMode.Edit,DisplayMode.Disabled)

if this doesn't work can you please remove everything after selected i.e. use DataCardValue77.Selected only instead of using DataCardValue77.Selected.'Animal (doa_animal)' because you just want to check blank not exact value from your combobox

Hi @HansHeintz,

The Or stucture in your post is valid (there are several ways of expressing this function), however there are a few things you might want to try to get to the bottom on this. Firstly, the IsBlank test assumes a null value. Controls can at times contain an empty string (especially the last one and is why you will see the IsEmpty test). Using the Len (Length) function covers both of these
If( Len(DataCardValue77.Selected.'Animal (doa_animal)') > 0 Or Len(DataCardValue78.Selected.'Animal (doa_animal)') = 0 Or Len(Trim(DataCardValue75.Text)) = 0, DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled )

the next thing in the debugging exercise is to put this on a Label
If( Len(DataCardValue77.Selected.'Animal (doa_animal)') > 0 Or Len(DataCardValue78.Selected.'Animal (doa_animal)') = 0 Or Len(Trim(DataCardValue75.Text)) = 0, "Edit", "Disabled" )

and it will return (in text) the mode that your icon should be in.

Also what do you mean by still it behaves like enabled

About

"If I check by higlighting the displaymode code of the icon it says disabled, still it behaves like enabled"

I mean that

-if in edit mode I highlight the code for the displaymode property this Icon to evaluate it in the editor, the editor gives me the value disabled

-if In run mode the Icon and I click the icon the onselect property will be executed, hence it behaves as enabled

Probably more a case for the support people at microsoft as this can't be right.
