I am trying to simulate delete_record function, in my system on button press trigger from 'delete_button' it sets the status of the row to be 'D'(Deleted'), Now I would like to add some functionality to that trigger, so that after the button is pressed it would disappear from the table just like if I use delete_record; function, but I don't want the record to be deleted from table, is it possible to achieve?
P.S data is filled manually and by query

The simplest option seems to be setting data block's WHERE clause; something like

where status <> 'D'

the only other solution that I was able to come up with is to, not exactly deleting the row from table, but disabling from updating it and assigning visual attribute similar to disabled(grey color)
