I have a menu bar on the header with buttons leading to other windows. I want these buttons on the header to only be enabled if the home screen is open and disabled otherwise. I’ve tried different ways but I can’t get it to work correctly. I tried this expression in the ‘enabled’ property of the button: system.nav.getCurrentWindow() = “HomeScreen”  
This did not work.Any suggestions on how to do this?  
Thanks

The expression should be like this:`{[System]Client/User/CurrentWindow} = "HomeScreen"`

Here you go:`{[System]Client/User/CurrentWindow} = "HomeScreen" || {[System]Client/User/CurrentWindow} = "AnotherWindow"`
