The issue is that the reset button resets everything except for combobox6 and textbox18 (AKA: the items) which are associated with a radio2.

The items are hidden by default and are controlled by radio2:

function window_onload() {
UpdateData();
  hideMeasure("hidden");

}
//End function window_onload

// Hides the Measure Sort selection
function hideMeasure(state)
{
             document.getElementById("combobox6").style.visibility = state;
             document.getElementById("text18").style.visibility = state;
}
//End function hideMeasure


//Begin function radio2_onclick
function radio2_onclick(ctrl) {
if (document.getElementById('radio2_0').checked==true)
                {
  hideMeasure("hidden");
                }
else if (document.getElementById('radio2_1').checked==false)
                {
  hideMeasure("visible");
                }
else if (document.getElementById('radio2_2').checked==false)
                {
  hideMeasure("visible");
                }
}
//End function radio2_onclick

The reset bottom is just the standard one that's dragged on to the canvas.

So, how do I invoke "function hideMeasure(state)" when the reset button is clicked?

This didn't work either...

//Begin function reset1_onclick
function reset1_onclick(ctrl) {
   document.getElementById("combobox6").style.visibility = hidden;
   document.getElementById("text18").style.visibility = hidden;}
//End function reset1_onclick

Just a guess here...

Try this:

//Begin function reset1_onclick
function reset1_onclick(ctrl) {
   setTimeout(function(){ hide_again() }, 100); //Try 200 if 100 doesn't work

   function hide_again() {
     document.getElementById("combobox6").style.visibility = hidden;
     document.getElementById("text18").style.visibility = hidden;
   }
}
//End function reset1_onclick

What might be happening is that your code is executing before the reset happens. You want it to happen after the reset is complete. The "setTimeout" will delay the execution of your code by 100 milliseconds, which hopefully is enough time to let the reset complete. If it doesn't work the first time, try 200 milliseconds or higher.

Thanks Squatch, I'll try that. But, a quick Q&A first: Why would it make a difference as to when a control is hidden? My thought would be to hide it before the reset as the reset isn't doing anything with those "items"...

Because your code executes as soon as the click event happens, but it takes time for the reset code to complete. JavaScript is "asynchronous," meaning more than one set of code can run at the same time.

So when the reset button is clicked, your two-line code gets executed along with the code that resets the controls. Since your code is small, it finishes before the reset code does, possibly overwriting the changes you are trying to make.

That's my theory, anyway. I know this can happen because I had to put in a 100 millisecond delay in a double listbox click event recently. I wanted to resort the lefthand side of the listbox when a user decides to put something back from the right side to the left. I found that my sort routine fired right away, did the sort, BUT... other code that moves the item from right to left had not finished. So the item never sorted, because my sort code ran before the item was there.

That might not be your issue, but it sounds familiar to me considering my experience with the double listbox.

Okay, I just did a test and it looks like you're right... the reset doesn't seem to affect visibility, so that probably isn't the problem you are encountering.

I tried several variation of that, up to and including the following.

//Begin function reset1_onclick
function reset1_onclick(ctrl) 
{
   setTimeout(function(){ hide_again() }, 100); 
   function hide_again() 
	{
     document.getElementById("combobox6").style.visibility = hidden;
     document.getElementById("text18").style.visibility = hidden;
   }
}
//End function reset1_onclick

I'm not sure if the reset1_onclick function is invoked when clicking of reset1

//Begin function reset1_onclick
function reset1_onclick(ctrl) {
alert("Reset requested"); 
}
//End function reset1_onclick

If so I should see that alert... I've always thought that the "reset" buttons "acted on their own".

In my test, clicking the reset button fires the reset1_onclick function. I put an "alert" command in and the alert pops up when I click reset. You should see your alert. If not, you've got something weird going on.

Are you sure your reset button is called "reset1"? Maybe you've now got a "reset2" button on your form so that's why nothing is happening?

Yep, it's as much of "reset1" as it can be... What version of Dev Studio are you using? (you may want to add / update your signature)

I use App Studio 8.1.0.5.
