How do I get my button to disable after pressed?

[DGWolfe]

Hi,

I have a canvas app, and I have a few buttons. Each button makes hidden sections of choices appear. I would like this to be a "pressed once, and then disable" type experience.

I have read through all the similar posts, and tried a few work arounds, but  nothing seems to work.

The buttons create collections and unhide sections. After that, it shouldn't be able to be used again. 

Any suggestions on how I can overcome this?

Thanks.

Hi @DGWolfe ,

You need to set a Variable (call it whatever you want) on the button OnSelect 

UpdateContext({varDisable:true})

Then the DisplayMode of the Button

If(
   varDisable,
   DisplayM<ode.Disabled,
   DisplayMode.Edit
)

Also at Screen OnVisible (and whenever you want the button to work

UpdateContext({varDisable:false})
