Hi, guys… Does anyone know if I can make a button hide within a specific time and display it at another time? Does anyone have any videos or tutorials that will help guide me on how to do this? Thanks… ---

Hi @dantec.sbcvr, I’m not sure what you are trying to convey. Could you explain it a bit further? ---

Oh, I think that he wants to hide a button some time after the screen is opened/button clicked, and show it again later. Is that correct @dantec.sbcvr? ---

@dantec.sbcvr if you want to make it like @codeswept said then add a timer component and enter the time interval as you like if you want to make it happen once the loop - false or loop - true when screen opens timer enabled to true when timer fires if button visible = true button visible to false else button visible to true ---

Play around with the time/date blocks in the Device drawer and use an If block within the “when button click” block to allow/disallow something to happen. ![Screen Shot 2020-11-05 at 9.21.46 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/1/916097e4e87b15a33fb6fa4c8cbc4b1c08c4a2f9.png) ---

Hi! It’s best to do this when your clock’s minute hand is exactly at 12. That makes it much easier. Follow and read this conversation(link beside) to [get current date and time](http://community.thunkable.com/t/get-current-date-time/32803/6).Initialize a couple of variables to store the information. Then you can use (of course in blocks) if var date = “Saturday” and var hour ≥ 14 from button1 set visible to false else from button set visible to true. Hope this helps! Happy Thunking! ---
