Another feature that would be really good would be a disable feature with buttons when pressed.
Currently users are not sure that they have pushed a button until they see something happening. If there is a delay, there can be confusion.
If there was a feature whereby the button would appear disabled when pressed then the operator would know that they have pushed the button and must wait a few seconds for action.

You can include js in most if not all component properties.
For example, set the button disabled property set to {{ query1.isFetching }}. There's a lot you can do here.
Where query1 equals the query you are executing.
Is the event that is triggered by the button called something else besides query1? If it is named query1, you may want to try refreshing
Tess:
This is not what I wanted.
Changing the name of the query gets it to work but it permanently disables the button and changes the color to grey.
I wanted something that would give a short indication that the button had been pressed and then after a second it would return to its normal state.
Possibly this is not available in a web environment.
Mike
Hmm, it should be very temporary - only the length of time that the query is running. Is it a longer query?
Tess:
No, it stays on permanently. If I go to another screen and come back to it, the button is still disabled and grey.
Mike
Have you tried reproducing the issue in a minimal example app? 1 button, 1 query.
I have developed a simple app that adds 100 to whatever is in the input box.
I have added the code for:
{{Add100.isfetching}}
to the "disabled" property but I see no disabling of the button.
I am adding a picture of the screen.
Mike
That operation is too fast to see the change, replace it with
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve,3000));
I still can't get my mind around this.
I have added the new Promise code to my Add100 code. The Add100 code is part of the Button Disabled property.
This does not seem to work.
A picture is attached.
Mike
lowercase f in {{Add100.isfetching}} ?
Matt:
I got it to work. Thank you much.
I changed the resolve time from 3,000 to 200.
I will be able to use this a lot. Thank you again.
Mike
Matt:
I have just discovered that if the button is black that the temporary color of grey does not show up. It seems to work with a blue background but not with a button with a black background. Is there some way of changing the temporary color so it will be visible with a black button?
Mike
This is not currently supported, but we have a feature request for it!
