Simple disable button in script

Help & Support
1

Hello!
How can I simple disable/enable a menubutton in another script of button?
There is no condition or environment status.
Thanks!

2

What kind of menu button? One in a normal Opus toolbar? Or do you mean a button in a script dialog?

3

I want to disable or enable a normal main menu button in another main menu button script.
For example:

You can use @toggle and variables to do that.

See Command modifier reference around this part:

The @toggle directive can also test for the existence of a variable (one set via the @set directive) ...

Thanks.
Unfortunately, I don't quite understand yet.
For example, let it:
Btn1 is the button I want to disable / enable.
Btn2 to disable Btn1.
Btn3 to enable Btn1.
What should I write in the Btn2 and Btn3 button script?

6

Are Btn2 and Btn3 actual scripts (as in VBScript or JScript), or are they just normal buttons?

You can do it in both, but the best/exact way you do it is different.

7

Scripts are VBScript.

Button (not a script):

@disableif:$glob:DisableMyButton
// ...

Disable the button (VBScript):

Option Explicit
Function OnClick(ByRef clickData)
	Dim cmd, globals
	Set cmd = clickData.func.command
	Set globals = DOpus.Vars
	
	globals.Set "DisableMyButton", TRUE
	cmd.UpdateToggle
End Function

Enable the button (VBScript):

Option Explicit
Function OnClick(ByRef clickData)
	Dim cmd, globals
	Set cmd = clickData.func.command
	Set globals = DOpus.Vars
	
	globals.Delete "DisableMyButton"
	cmd.UpdateToggle
End Function
