will the place allotted be blank when an element is hidden

[p_k3]

Dear Experts,

I want to shoe / hide a set of controls depending on the action chosen bby the users. My view will look like the following

Root Container

-

---

> TransparentContainer 1 -

---

> some UI elements

-

---

> TransparentContainer 2 -

---

> some UI elements

-

---

> TransparentContainer 3 -

---

> some UI elements

Depending on the user's choice i need to show / hide the entire elements in the TransparentContainer2.

Now my question is that when i make the whole Container-2 invisible will the place allocated to that group be blank or the elements in Container3 will be pushed up to the place of Container2? I cant keep that area blank when the Container2 is invisible.

Can you tell me how to do it?

Thanks

Hi,

1. use Matrix Layout.

2. While setting the Visibility of the views, set them to NONE instead of BLANK.

Hope it helps.

Thanks

Hi Sunitha,

Thanks for the rply. It solved my problem. I didnt need to use the Matrix layout though. Just the visibility NONE has done it. thanks
