making some fields visible dynamically

karuchua

how do i make some fields visible depending on what the user chooses on the first field

for example, i have the type is 1,2 and 3, so if he/she chooses 1,only certain fields would be visible,if he changes to 2,only certain fields will be visible.

trying the code below on validate of the field but doesnt work as expected

IF "Item Type"="Item Type"::Pump THEN BEGIN
     CurrForm.Canopy.VISIBLE(FALSE);
     CurrForm."Electric/Manual".VISIBLE(FALSE);
     CurrForm."Low/High/Speed".VISIBLE(FALSE);
     CurrForm.KVA.VISIBLE(FALSE);
END

ELSE IF  "Item Type"="Item Type"::Generator THEN BEGIN
    CurrForm.Cooled.VISIBLE(FALSE);
    CurrForm."C/W Motor".VISIBLE(FALSE);
    CurrForm.KW.VISIBLE(FALSE);
    CurrForm."Volume/Head".VISIBLE(FALSE);
    CurrForm."Water Quality".VISIBLE(FALSE);
    CurrForm.HP.VISIBLE(FALSE);
    CurrForm."Speed(RPM)".VISIBLE(FALSE);
        
END

The code will work as it is how you write..

I mean to ask, what part of code is not working?
Are fields not visible?

karuchua

the fields are visible for the first time,but if for example i choose one item type and then change the line,it doesnt refresh with the new fields.

skulla

On which trigger did you place your code ? Did you place this onValidate of that field ?

karuchua

@skulla,its onvalidate,but i managed to figure it out,i have to code for all my fields and specify whether its visible true or false.
