Show/Hide field dynamically in page

Hi everyone, I create a new field in Sales Header table called "Vasilhame" and this field only will be display when I choose a specific Posting No Series. So my idea was to include this field in my page and set the Visible property to a new boolean var I've created called ShowVasilhame.

This var have the option "Include In Dataset" equals to true and now I need to validate the change of Posting no Series equals to a specific text like "MRVFA" then this field should appear in my page, else it may still hide.

I create a function also called SetVasilhameVisibility(Show) where

LOCAL SetVasilhameVisibility(Value : Boolean)
ShowVasilhame:=Value;

Other code...

OnInit()
SetVasilhameVisibility(FALSE);

IF "Posting No. Series"='MRVFA' THEN
  SetVasilhameVisibility(TRUE);

OnOpenPage()
IF "Posting No. Series"='MRVFA' THEN
  SetVasilhameVisibility(TRUE);

Posting No. Series - OnValidate()
IF "Posting No. Series"='MRVFA' THEN
  SetVasilhameVisibility(TRUE);

Posting No. Series - OnLookup(VAR Text : Text) : Boolean

Posting No. Series - OnDrillDown()

My problem is when I change the posting no series, because it stays visible and don't hide anymore...

RE: Show/Hide field dynamically in page

So I create a Group with the field Vasilhame inside and with the option visible equals to "ShowVasilhame". Then I add this code in OnValidate

Posting No. Series - OnValidate()
SetVasilhameVisibility("Posting No. Series"='MRVFA');

And I've update my SetVasilhameVisibility function to

SetVasilhameVisibility(Value : Boolean)
MESSAGE('vasilhame %1 ',Value);
ShowVasilhame:=Value;
CurrPage.UPDATE(FALSE);

But nothing changed.. The message is not being pop when I change the posting no series... any idea?

I've also remove the code in onInit and onOpenPage to validate the posting series no..

You need to Put this "Vasilhame" inside the group , and set the visible property on the group level instead. This will hide it when you are validating Posting No.

Yes, the field vasilhame in the Visible property have "ShowVasilhame".. is this wrong? I assign ShowVasilhame value with SetVasilhameVisibility Function....

RE: Show/Hide field dynamically in page

The problem is that when I change the Posting No Series Code to another series like MRVFL this field should hide but stills visible..

OnInit() SetVasilhameVisibility("Posting No. Series"='MRPV1'); OnOpenPage() SetVasilhameVisibility("Posting No. Series"='MRPV1'); Posting No. Series - OnValidate() Posting No. Series - OnLookup(VAR Text : Text) : Boolean Posting No. Series - OnDrillDown() SetVasilhameVisibility("Posting No. Series"='MRPV1');
