Form Controls properties

VE024

Hi All,

Is it possible to dynamically change the form control properties like (Editable,visible).








Thanks & Regards,

Yes.
But in case your control is not table-bound (=a control that is a field of the table in the SourceTable of the form), you need to give them a name. Then you can use:
Currform."the control".VISIBLE(FALSE);
Currform."the control".EDITABLE(FALSE);

Hi

You can use the following statement

CurrForm.VISIBLE := TRUE; or FALSE
CurrForm.EDITABLE := TRUE; or FALSE
CurrForm.ControlName.VISIBLE := TRUE; or FALSE
CurrForm.ControlName.EDITABLE := TRUE; or FALSE

Hope this helps

Hi,

my control is table-bound. Is it possible to change the table-bound control properties in dynamic. Is there any alternative solution...

Some properties can be changed at runtime, others not.
BUT if you want to change properties of a field, you need to program those.
There is no such truck as recordreference or fieldreference for the controls.

Hi
some Properties are changed at runtime..
Ex...
If Editable Property is true then we can changed as yes or no.
If Editable Property is false then we can't changed as yes or no.
Because tables property are basics.
Hope this helps u

Even if you set the visibility of a control on a form to FALSE, remember, any user can just press CTRL+F8 and see all the information. So, if it's confidential info, use 2 (or more) forms.
