Change button to read only based on field value

Epicor ERP 10

Hello,
I am customizing the AR invoice entry screen so that users can click a button that will open up a customer payment portal. With help from Jose I was able to get the button working but I would like to make it read only on load and when a record is selected the field “CustPortal_c” is checked, if empty the button should be read only if not its enabled.
I’ve read a few forums and can’t use a row rule because AR entry doesn’t a text field to not be read only. Here’s my stab at this

Row Rules will always be the best option. I would recommend that the field get mapped to something (like the web address of the customer portal?) so the row rule can apply logic to the field. However, you can use custom code as the action instead to disable the button control.

I added a text box mapped to this field so I could monitor it’s value while testing.
Now with your suggestion i’ve added this, but I’m not sure how to disable the button in this

private void CreateRowRuleCustomerCustPortal_cEquals_x()
{
	// Description: btnDisable
	// **** begin autogenerated code ****
	ControlSettings controlSettings1EpiReadOnly = new ControlSettings();
	controlSettings1EpiReadOnly.SetStyleSetName("EpiReadOnly");
	RuleAction epireadonlyCustomer_CustPortal_c = RuleAction.AddControlSettings(this.oTrans, "Customer.CustPortal_c", controlSettings1EpiReadOnly);
	RuleAction[] ruleActions = new RuleAction[] {
			epireadonlyCustomer_CustPortal_c};
	// Create RowRule and add to the EpiDataView.
	RowRule rrCreateRowRuleCustomerCustPortal_cEquals_x = new RowRule("Customer.CustPortal_c", RuleCondition.Equals, "", ruleActions);
	((EpiDataView)(this.oTrans.EpiDataViews["Customer"])).AddRowRule(rrCreateRowRuleCustomerCustPortal_cEquals_x);
	// **** end autogenerated code ****
}

@Jason_Woods I found the answer after searching this again with your suggestion in mind.
I must have missed the unused field being used.

Good news!

spoke too soon…AR invoice entry is proving difficult and I can’t seem to find a field that will not turn read only on this screen by default.

Likely this is not a good example if there isn’t already a field associated with the Customer Portal.
For this, you will need custom code in the Row Rule Action.

Ahh!! I got it!
After reading that the binding doesn’t have to be real I changed it and now its good.
