button show or hide does not work.

[xren]

Hi,

I met these problem a couple of times.

I would like to control a couple of buttons' show and hide depending on the actions user taken.
e.g. There are "Add", "Save" and "Cancel" button.
At the beginning - only "Add" button show
After user click "Add" - then some panel show and the "Save" and "Cancel" Button show the "Add" hide.
After User click Save/Cancel - the "Add" button show and "Save" and "Cancel" hide.

However, after I click the Add button. all button hide. even my code set the other two show.

What's wrong with the way I control the buttons?

Thanks,
Xiaoli

Hard to say from your description. One thing to bear in mind is that a control - i.e. any control, including buttons - is hidden if that control or any of its parents are hidden. Some people get confused by this. Say for example that you put your three buttons in a Panel Control and you mark that as hidden; then the buttons will always stay hidden even though you might show the individual buttons. The only way to make them visible in this example is to remove the hidden status from the Panel Control i.e. show it. Display only also works in the same way as this.

I don't know if this is your problem. Other than this, there aren't any complications.
