Disable button

Function: Disable button

This action allows you to make a specific button on your application's screen inactive. When a button is disabled, users cannot click it, preventing them from performing an action associated with that button. This is useful for guiding users, preventing accidental submissions, or ensuring certain conditions are met before an action can be taken.

Input

• UI element (Type: PART, Subtype: button, Required): Specify the Button UI element that you want to disable. You will typically select this directly from your application's design canvas or from a list of available components.

Output

This action does not produce any direct output. Its effect is to change the state of the specified button on the user interface, making it disabled.

Execution Flow

Real-Life Examples

Example 1: Prevent multiple form submissions

• Scenario: After a user clicks a "Submit Order" button on an e-commerce checkout page, you want to disable the button immediately to prevent them from accidentally submitting the order multiple times while the system processes the request.
• Inputs:
  • UI element: Submit Order Button
• Result: The "Submit Order Button" on the checkout page becomes grayed out and unclickable as soon as the user clicks it, ensuring only one order submission.

Example 2: Disable a "Delete" button until an item is selected

• Scenario: On a data management screen, there's a "Delete Selected Item" button. This button should only be active if the user has actually selected an item from a list. If no item is selected, the button should be disabled.
• Inputs:
  • UI element: Delete Selected Item Button
• Result: The "Delete Selected Item Button" is disabled (unclickable) until the user selects an item from the list.

Example 3: Guide users through a multi-step form

• Scenario: In a multi-step application form, the "Next Step" button should only become active once all required fields on the current step are filled out. If any required field is empty, the "Next Step" button should remain disabled.
• Inputs:
  • UI element: Next Step Button
• Result: The "Next Step Button" remains disabled until all mandatory fields in the current form step have valid entries, guiding the user to complete necessary information.
