Error "Variable 'xxx' is not found in scope."

Hi, all,

I am trying to create a new group control in form, and set the control visible via code to make its visibility condition controlled.
But when I tried to set FormGroupControl1.visible(true), the IDE (VS2017) will inform that "Variable 'FormGroupControl1' is not found in scope."

Could anyone help me on this? Why this happen? And how could I set the control visible via code?

Thank you for your time and help.

Thank you, Komi, Mohit and Arunraj. Auto declaration works!

Hi Kai Cheng,

Like Komi mentioned, set the auto declaration property on the control to Yes. This will allow you to access the control by code and it will resolve the variable error.

Answering other part of question, you can alter the visibility of control by code. You are using the right syntax for it.

Make sure you add code for both visible true and false.

Hi, Are you trying to access this control via code within form or outside in a class? If within form then check Auto declaration property as Komi suggested, however if outside the form then it's different story.

Did you set the Auto declaration property of the form control to Yes ?
