I am having an issue trying to hide and show a tab based on another fields value.

I have a field called, "Record Type" and this field is an option set.  When this field is equals "Medicare" I want the tab to appear and when it doesn't I want it to hide.  I currently have the checkbox "default visiable" on this tab unchecked.

function RecordTypeOnChange()
 {
 var RecordType = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_recordtype").getSelectedOption();
 
  if (RecordType == "Medicare")
  {
  Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab_grievances").setVisible(true);
  }
 else if (RecordType != "Medicare")
  {
  Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tab_grievances").setVisible(false);
  }
 }

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Hi,

     try using getText:

    var RecordType = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_recordtype").getSelectedOption().getText();

    I know get an error that says, "Object doesn't support property or method 'getText'

    ah.. sorry.. remove getSelectedOption:

    var RecordType = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("nhs_recordtype").getText();

    Thank you.  By chance, why would it work with getText and not with getOption?

    It probably would, but you'd have to use

    getSelectedOption().text

    getSelectedOption returns an "Option" object with text/value properties.. and, besides, you may have to check if it's null first.. otherwise, you'll get an error asking for "text" when nothing has been selected

    what would the string be to hide/show a field based on 2 other fields?  so instead of .tab what would it be?

    If you wanted to hide a control, you could use

    Xrm.Page.getControl(arg).setVisible(bool)
