disable a button for some time

Is there any way in the corona to make the button stop working for some time interval, and after some time the button becomes active again… [import]uid: 48549 topic_id: 10006 reply_id: 310006[/import]

First use removeEventListener to deactivate the button. Then use performWithDelay to call another function after a wait. In that function use addEventListener to reactivate the button. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 10006 reply_id: 36527[/import]

@hamzajavaid_mug…
an easier way would be to set a flag, so you can just add

button.isEnabled = false

this by itself will do nothing so handle it in the listener

if “began” == event.phase then
if event.target.isEnabled == false then return end
end

I hope you get the idea.

cheers,

Yes, jayantv’s sugestion is good.

Here is an excerpt from my custom ui.lua which is basically same suggestion

[code]
local function newButtonHandler( self, event )
if self.isEnabled ~= true then return end
…
end

function newButton( params )
…
if params.isEnabled ~= nil then
button.isEnabled = params.isEnabled
else
button.isEnabled = true
end
end
