Hi Team,  
Please find the screenshot below:  
When we click on button 1 in the Main view, this popup will open, then clicking on OK button, Button 1 from the Main View should be disable and Button 2 should be enable.

I referred the previous links in the forum this can done by using session/message handler  
but I am not able to achieve, please help by the steps.

Thank you

Hi,

- Create a Parameter in Main view as **status**
- Create a event on Popup Ok button with a script as

`system.perspective.sendMessage("test", payload = {"status" : False}, scope = "page")`

- Create a script on Main view and add a Message Handlers type as **test** and write script as

```auto
status = payload["status"]
self.view.params.status = status

```

- Bind the parameter to the enable property of the button 1.

\*\*Change the name, scope and payload according to your need.

Thanks

Tip: you've posted this in **General Discussion** but it belongs to the **Ignition** category. Also, you need to tag it as **Perspective** so that you attract the right experts.
