Invisible control in a report

dulaman

Hi,

I'd like to change dynamically by using the VISIBLE function a control in a report when it fills a certain condition. Is this possible? Am I asking too much to Navision?

You can define a variable instead of a label and populate it whenever you want to show it.

You cannot turn a control on and off like on a form.

hi, my english is not good, but i find with the same problem.
My solution is the next one.
I defined Text Constants and a variable.
TextConstant:
Name: TextConstant1 Value: %1
Variable:
Name: Line

This Line is link with the textbox in the report.

In the C/AL Code i work
IF Condition is true THEN
Line := SUBSTRNO(TextConstant1,Line)
ELSE
Line := '';


I hope that this example is useful.

Thank you Mark & jaisa, the answer was there but I was too tired (not to mention too stupid?) to find it out!! #-o

You can also make a copy of the section, delete the control in question
and put

Currreport.ShOWOUTPUT(MyCondition)

in the OnPreSection trigger of the new section

Currreport.ShOWOUTPUT(NOT MyCondition)

in the OnPreSection trigger of the original section

You're a genius!

Yes, that is the simple solution. But please remember that there is a maximum no. of sections and your report shoud be maintainable.
