So i have alot of buttons in one page and navigating and scrolling through them takes really a long time so I want to make a search bar for it and I tried alot of things but I just cannot get it right, so far i've been able to type in a textbox and it shows me a TEXT into a listview but I want it to be clickable just like the normal button in the page. I might be confusing but for context I want to make a textbox with a search button that when clicked searches all the buttons to find a button with a name that matches what's in the textbox and show it in a listview and make it clickable so it acts just like the normal button.
Show your relevant blocks
OK, so when you press on a searched item in your listview, do you want the same action as when you would click on the button itself ? If so what are the actions?
It'll open another page with a start value
Does beg the question as to why you need all those buttons in the first place? You could just set your list to a listview, use the listview filter bar to filter the list, and then act one a listview item is selected.
Will each button open a different screen, or the same screen with a different start value ?
Let's say all the buttons are on screen1 and each button opens screen2 that has a textlabel inside it and that textlabel is set to the start value that is sent from screen1 so each button gives a diffrent text
Could you explain that please?
Like how does it work?
How about trying it out.
Try this
lvSelectAndGo.aia (2.9 KB)
note that ShowFilterBar is checked for the Listview in the Designer
I get it now but for me all buttons give a diffrent start value what should I change here?
not what you said earlier...
Show how you are storing a different text value to the button text for each button.
Okayy I get how it works now that is exactly what I needed thank you so much
But for my case every button gives an article so a long text in every start value so is there a shorter way because that would mean that I'll have to copy and paste the whole article into the listview
Or at least make the listview not visible until a button calls it
Use the actual button text to retrieve the article in the other screen.
How?
