Hi,

Can any one; pls help how to disable button (grey out) on some specific condition.

I have a report of 2 pages; In first page it displays few records; once click on specific record control goes to next page 2; And here i have button (template based button); Once click on this it perform pl/sql procedure.

My requirement is: The button should disable (should not hide) when moves from page 1 to page 2 based on some specific returned values in page 2.

I have return code in button conditions (Condition type = PL/SQL Function Body Returning a Boolean)
Sample code is:
if :value1 = 'disable_test_value' then
return false;
else
return true;
end if;

The above code is working fine with button completely disappers if the :value1 = 'disable_test_value' (which is suppossed to be as we gave return false).

My question is: Is there any way; we can still show button (but button disabled or grey out; so that no action can perform on this button )? And also show some text message in other text field when button is disabled?

Thanks!!
