Hello everyone,

In a custom form, how to show and hide control or field now days ? If lets say I'm using Menu item display parameter, how is the code looks like and where we should put it ?

For example :I created form like below:

7612.Capture4.JPG

As this form called using menu item. I put enum parameter in its property. Several menuitem calling this 1 form, and I just put enum parameter each. So on certain enum value, some of the action pane above (lets say aptabCustomer) need to be hidden.

Also some field in the detail information (not showing in the image), will need to be hidden as well.

Where I should put the checking and how ? is it in this form or I should create Even Handler class for this ?

Thanks,

Hi WWwong,

If you are doing this customization for your own form, you don't need to use event handlers, just put code to init method and hide needed controls based on the value from enum parameter set up on menu item.

Using event handlers for the object (form, table, and so on) in the same model will increase code complexity and make code less understandable and readable.

If you have a form in one model (standard or custom), but you added controls via an extension in another model in this case you need to use event handlers or CoC methods.

Hi WWwong,

As Sergei mentioned If you are doing you own form no need to use event handlers.

From the properties of aptabCustomer control change the Auto declaration property to Yes.

You need to get the Enum value from the menu items that has been called.

Then based on your Enum value add this code:

aptabCustomer.visible(false);
