I want to be able to disable a widget from my app script

[tconkling]

Sometimes I want to show the user that a piece of UI exists, but is currently disabled until some condition is met. For example:

• a "Submit" button that gets enabled when some text inputs have reasonable form data
• A slider that's only enabled when a checkbox is clicked

It would be useful if each widget function took an optional "enabled" flag.

I can see this appear two ways syntactically.

foo = st.button("test", enabled = False)  

or

foo = st.button("test")
foo.enabled = False

That would be a most definitely wanted feature by many of us I think (myself included ;-) )
I was about to start an issue but you beat me to it...

Is there anyone working on this yet?

I would definitely also be interested in this. The ability to disable a button as to lock a users initial choice.

[H4dr1en]

Also interested!

Also very interested!

+1. This is also very useful if you want to show some default options that can't be changed (e.g. you have 3 checkboxes and the first one should always be checked due to some other settings).

• 1 here too. I'm using st.Markdown and custom Html code to simulate this feature... a mess... I'd love to have it implemented maybe with some custom css as well

[Muzammiljethwa]

I have done this by going through this approch:

st.write("Select atmost 2 locations")
location = st.multiselect("Where do you live?", ("New York", "San Francisco", "Chicago", "Seattle"))
button = st.button("Print Locations",disabled=False)

if button :
   if len(location) <= 2:
       st.write(location)
   else:
       st.warning("You have to select only 2 locations")

hope it will help !!!!!

how does this work?

I can't disable a widget after creation.

I want to disable or enable for example a checkbox based on another condition in my app!

[jrieke]

This was released already a while ago. Just pass a boolean value to the disabled parameter of a widget:

disabled = st.checkbox("Disable slider")
st.slider("My slider", disabled=disabled)

disabled = st.checkbox("Disable slider")
st.slider("My slider", disabled=disabled)

This works beautifully! Can't believe such an easy solution is burried here, a lot of solution on SO are way too complicated for a simple thing to do here.
