I'd like to show and hide a panel using a button

[pgaudioworks]

I've figured out how to get the console to print the 1 or 0 value of a button, but I don't know how to translate that to the pop up showing or not. Should I use if else for this? How do I get the panel to show and hide?

@pgaudioworks MyPanel.showControl(MyButton.getValue);

@d-healey thank you David. I'm getting this error:

Draft 1:! Line 7, column 22: API call with undefined parameter 0 {SW50ZXJmYWNlfG9uSW5pdCgpfDE3M3w3fDIy}

Here's what I have:

const var Panel1Red = Content.getComponent("Panel1Red");

const var Button1 = Content.getComponent("Button1");

Panel1Red.showControl(Button1.getValue);

@pgaudioworks try with a callback.

inline function onButton1Control(component, value)
{
	Panel1Red.showControl(value);
};
Content.getComponent("Button1").setControlCallback(onButton1Control);

[pgaudioworks]

@CyberGen That definitely worked, but I don't think I understand why.

Is the first line creating an inline function that happens whenever the button is pressed? And the contents of the { } is the what the inline function does when it's run? I don't understand the last line at all.

Am I close?

@pgaudioworks yes, go watch my Scripting 101 video

@d-healey @CyberGen - I did it, I figured it out and understood it! Thanks both of you :)

nearly...

Panel1Red.showControl(Button1.getValue());

..see those extra ellipses at the end of getValue() ??
