Button to Open/Close command tree

I've been reading Inside Sesame V1#8 (August 2004) and have tried Gordon Meigs programming to add a button which opens and closes the command tree.

Here is the code:
Code
Select All
Main form : On Form Entry
vState=@CloseCommandArea()
If vState = 0 then Label(LE4, "Close Command Tree")
If vState = 1 then Label(LE4, "Open Command Tree")

Code
Select All
Button : On Element Entry
var vState as int

vState=@CloseCommandArea()

If vState = 0
then
	{
	CloseCommandArea(1)
	Label(LE4, "Open Command Tree")
	}

If vState = 1
then
	{
	CloseCommandArea(0)
	Label(LE4, "Close Command Tree")
	}


Now here's the thing:  the button label shows up just fine in Add mode, but is not present in Search mode until it gets pressed or the first record is retreived.  I think I'm missing a state.  Can vState be anything other than 1 or 2?

The On Form Entry event does not execute in Search mode. To execute code at the Search screen, you need to put it in the "On Retrieve Spec Open" event.
