Activate object

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I need to activate an object (i.e.,) a button has to be activated (Pressed) automatically when i click on a sheet.

Updated:

I need that button to be clicked or pressed automatically for every 10 minutes,

And i don't want the user to do that manually pressing every time, it should happen automatically.

Please let me know if it is possible or not.

Thanks.

=if(frac(Minute(now())/10)>0,0,1)

This expression will hide that button for 10 minutes.

I don't want this button to hidden. I want this button to be pressed or activated automatically every 10 minutes

Thanks

That totally depends on how you implement the logic, to be honest I am struggling to understand what you are trying to achieve with the button press.

You might need to come up with a way of using variables to step through your process, the logic I provided could be your starting point.

Thanks for your reply. let me explain in brief.

Consider i have a button, and i have 3 text boxes.

Once i click on that button.

1st text box will be displayed for 1 minute, and then it will hide, after that 2nd text box will display for 1 minute and then it will hide and similarly the third one.

I want this process to be continued to display again from the starting, once the third one is done.

If all the 3 text box's have completed its 1 minute, then again it should display the first text box and so on, it should be in a loop..

I have successfully done the loop for first time.

To display the 1,2,3 text box's again, i have to click on that button again.

So i don't want to click on that button every time and display those 3 text boxes.

I need those text boxes to be repeated again and again in an order.

How may i achieve this.

Thanks

Perfect and exactly what I needed to understand... this can certainly be done with variables.

So, you just need to trigger the cycle using the logic which should be do-able, can you share a qvw with your text boxes in so I can expand on it?

I have attached the qvw file.

Please look into it.

Thanks for your time..

It is no bother at all, I like a challenge!

So this is a starting point for you but this will work as I set this up and the first box pinged up at 0840 and disappeared after 20 seconds

set vEndTime to

=if(frac(Minute(now())/10)>0,0,timestamp(now()+($(vTimerMinutes))/1440))

Then you just need to dollar sign expand that so for example in your show use:

=if(now()<$(vEndTime),1,0)

rather than =if(now()<vEndTime,1,0)

can you please attach the qvw file, where you made the change.

here you go, don;t forget if you push the button it is going to overwrite the variable, so maybe use a second variable (or set of variables) for the button and use an OR clause in the show
