Hi Roman,

For example:

<xforms:button>
	<xforms:caption>Run script</xforms:caption>
	<xforms:script ev:event="xforms:activate" .../>
</xforms:button>

This is one way, there may be others:

<xforms:instance xmlns="">
	<my>
	<isRelevant value="true"/>
	<anotherItem/>
	</my>
</xforms:instance>

<xforms:bind ref="/my/anotherItem" relevant="/my/isRelevant='true'"/>

<xforms:button>
  <xforms:caption>Set relevant</xforms:caption>
  <xforms:setValue ev:event="xforms:activate"
   ref="/my/isRelevant/@value"
   value="xforms:if(/my/isRelevant/@value='true','false','true')"/>
</xforms:button>

(I have not tested these, although they should work with X-Smiles, so there
are probably errors)
