Hide Text Elements in Adobe Forms

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have two text elements for same id and different languages. Both of these may have values. I need to hide 2nd text element if there is a value in the 1st. In case there is no value in the 1st, I want the 2nd to be printed.

I searched the SDN and tried all the given solns, but could not get the desired result.

Please help.

Regards

hmmm.. can you post your code? hiding an element based on some value is very common

Hi Robert,

The formcalc code is as below:

data.#pageSet[0].Page1.TERMSLINK_CLAUSE.GT_CLAUSE.DATA.TEXT1::ready:form - (FormCalc, client)

if (data.#pageSet[0].Page1.TERMSLINK_CLAUSE.GT_CLAUSE.DATA.Text.rawValue ne " ") then

data.#pageSet[0].Page1.TERMSLINK_CLAUSE.GT_CLAUSE.DATA.TEXT1.presence = "hidden"

endif

Thanks

Jaspreet

You could try to change the 'NE' into '!=' ?

you don't always have to fully quailfy your field. When you place the code under the field you can use:

if ( Text.rawValue ne " ") then
  TEXT1.presence = "hidden"
endif

did you mean to check field TEXT but are trying to hide field TEXT1?

EQ / NE should work fine.
