How to refer a control in a Report.

Sneaker

Ex:

ShowClient As Boolean.

If ShowClient Then
Control11.Visible=True; (not work)

The control need a name (property Name).

For Example:
control name = Button

If Showclient
then
currform.button.visible:=true;

or

currform.button.visible:=Showclient;

Thanks, but the problem was in Section Designer of the Report Designer.

For Ex:


IF ShowTextBox THEN
currReport.Prev.Visible:=False;

This example not work, a message appear:

'Uknouwn variable Prev'

Prev='Name property of the TextBox'

GoMaD

Controls are not directly available on the Section designer in the manner of

CurrReport.controlname.visible = true;

The better way (if you can call it that) is to work with a dummy variable which you can leave empty or fill in as desired and use that dummy variable as the source expression in the properties of the textbox.

You can also create more sections and control their printing via CurrReport.SHOWOUTPUT(SetShow) function.
refer to reports like invoice, order (i.e. 405 etc.) and see how they print document lines
