Changing the state of a hidden button to visible

Hi Vince,

I don't know if there is a more elegant way to accomplish what you are trying to do, but I have done so using the text entry fields to change the state of some off-screen shapes from hidden to normal first and using these state changes to control the state of your submit button.

Basically, I have added an off-screen shape for each response and set the initial state to hidden. I have then added a trigger to change the state of each hidden shape to normal when the control loses focus on the the respective text entry. Finally, I have added a trigger to change the state of the submit button to normal when the state of all of the hidden shapes is normal.

I attach a very rough draft that hopefully will make my explanation clearer - I hope it helps!

I hate doing this Anthony but I think this is a more elegant way of doing it, I have changed your file

Thanks Phil.

Agree that this is more elegant and thanks for the input - just goes to show that many of us are still on a learning curve with SL 

I hope you are well and being kept busy.

Awesome. You guys rock! Thank you for helping me out.

Hi Phil,

I have the same question as Vince and would love to see the "more elegant way" - could you describe it please?

Many thanks.

Hi Eleanor,

Did you download the file that Phil shared here? I believe that was his "elegant" solution. I'm not sure if he's still subscribed to this thread as it's a bit older, but you could use the contact me link on his profile to reach out to him directly if you'd like.
