Page Cntrl Visibility

navuser1

Dear All,
Is it possible to show/hide a Page Control(field) on the basis of some field validation ?

Thank you.

I think control visibility can be managed only during the opening of the page itself...

Try a Global Variable, boolean with property IncludeInDataset as true. Set this global variable in the Visible property of the object and try to change the value of this variable with code. Perhaps a CurrPage.UPDATE is needed but this should work.

I tested it (NAV 2009R2), even with CurrPage.UPDATE, but seems the global variable is checked only during page opening :?
Sure enough help says "For field and action controls, the variable must be resolved by the OnInit Trigger or OnOpenPage Trigger. ".

I think I've used it to enable/disable an Page action, triggered by field onvalidate.

I hav'nt tried on a field though. Do you use the Visible property? Try the Enable property.
