Hello,

Do someone know what is the rule to apply to display an object if the variable is not empty?

Thanks

Hi Greg,

assuming the following:

1. you have got a text-variable

2. you have got a textbox on a slide and the button on another

the solution would be:

set the "when revisiting" of the slide with the button to "reset to Initial state".

Set the Default state of the button to "hidden".

Insert a Trigger on the slide with the button:

Action: Change state of

On Object: Button1 (name of your button)

To State: Normal

When Timeline Starts

Object: 1.2 untitled slide (name of your slide with the button)

Condition: TextEntry != Not equal to

Leave the textbox for the compare value empty!

 

In your trigger window you will find the condition with the following sentence:

.... If TextEntry is not equal to (blank)

The "reset to Initial state" will take care, that your button Status will be changed at every revisit if neccessary. 

Cheers,

Jan
