Example #1

This example shows a button with the default style displaying the static text "Click Me".

Example #2

This example shows a button with a buttonText style in the default variant as a preset to show how it's easy to make a just text button using styling.

Example #3

This example shows a Text Input Control that is bound to the variable first_name and the button is either enabled or disabled based on whether a value has been entered into the text field.

To do this, use the Is Disabled property with an Airscript expression to check if there's a value.

ISEMPTY(  
  first_name  
)

• If first_name is empty, then Is Disabled = TRUE
• If first_name has a value, then Is Disabled = FALSE

Example #4

This example shows a Text Input Control that is bound to the variable first_name; however and the button is either visible or invisible based on whether a value has been entered into the text field.

To do this, use the Is Visible property with an Airscript expression to check if there's a value.

ISNOTEMPTY(  
  first_name  
)

• If first_name is empty, then Is Visible = FALSE
• If first_name has a value, then Is Visible = TRUE
