Change variable which influence the same shape

Solved151 views3 hours agoVisio Visio Buttons

David Crome [DevOps Member]334 3rd July 2026 0 Comments

Hi Dojo,

I have a shape which should be a button with these two data fields set:

SetVar => LOCKED:0
Variable => LOCKED|Show;=1

LOCKED is set to 1 by default via InitVar. So the shape is displayed. But: I can not click it. I guess it is because it s shape should not influence or in this case even remove itself?

But "it works" when I use the Show instead of the Variable data field:

SetVar => LOCKED:0
Show => <A>-A|Value|[var:LOCKED]|=0

But: Now the shape is not design anymore like in Visio but like "a button that looks and behaves like a default DataMiner Cube button" as if I would set the Options to Control=Button.

For me it is not important how I can archive this, but I want that my design stays like it is and it can change the variable even it uses it for shape manipulation.

and it looks like that the toggle button mechanism is not possible because it only works with a parameter of an element?

Thanks,
David

Sorry Miguel, your answer did not completely fixed my problem, but by accident I found out how:

Only when using SetVar and Execute on a shape, the button has the style which was defined in Visio and it works also when adding it to a visual overview component in a low code app.

SetVar => LOCKED:0
Show => <A>-A|Value|[var:LOCKED]|=0
Script => MyLockScript|Parameters:LOCKED=1|Options:NoConfirmation

Visio is always fun! 😀
