How to access another widget on the page in appmaker from an event

Question

I'd like to access another widget on the page, is there a direct way to do this? I now about widget.parent.children... and so on, but on big pages, it is a pain, and it does not work if the structure changes... Is there a way to get a widget by name?

Answer 1

you can access any element on the page using bellow command

widget.root.descendants.Button1

where Button1 is the element in seperate widget on the same page. You can write code to an element in a separate page using bellow code

app.pages.PageName1.descendants.ElementName1

Where PageName1 is the other page, and ElementName1 is the element in PageName1. Hope this helps you in any way
