I have added a button to AC10.1 on the levels tab in the detail area for levels.   I only need the button on the second level address for certain activity groups.   Since the button was added to the detail form it appears on every row.   I have disabled the functionality of the button on the rows where it does not apply, but I would really like to have the button hidden or have the text removed from the button on the rows where it is not working.    Is there a way to hide/unhide a button on a form?

Thanks,

Garry,
If you are using design studio you can. From a COBOL level I'm not sure.
For Design studio, within your script you need to get a reference to the object and then set it's display to none.
lawForm.getFormElement("text20").style.display="none";

I keep getting an error on page error when I try that. Here is what I have tried:
lawForm.getFormElement("push8",0).style.display="none";
or
var btnElem = lawForm.getFormElement("push8",0);
btnElem.style.display = "none";
