Dear All,

IWDInvisibleElement Invis1=(IWDInvisibleElement)view.createElement(IWDInvisibleElement.class,null);

Invis1.setEnabled(true);

Invis1.setVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);

Hi,

place the below code where you want the invisible element in layout

IWDTextView t=(IWDTextView)view.createElement(IWDTextView.class,null);

t.setVisible(WDVisibility.BLANK);

Hi All,

Thanks for ur quick respsone.

Armin/Vinod : I am using a Transparent container as the Parent container and i have changed the layout to a "Gridlayout" with column count "3" and the widht as "200px"

Still the inivisible element ,I mean the space which i require between the label and the input field is not appearing.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Nishita,

You can use padding property of the UI element for giving space between the UI elements. And if you specify the width of the layout in UI element property, this will also reduce or increase the space for the layout you r using.

No need to give the invisible element.

Your code is right, Try by Changing the default layout (FlowLayout) of the container and set the width property in % ( Eg 20%). Setting the width, will help you to find the difference in Element position.

The code looks ok, you don't need to set "enabled" and" visible" properties to default values. Are you sure the element is not created (it's invisible ;-)? What kind of layout has the parent container? Maybe you need to create non-default layout data for the invisible element?

Hi,

check "Dynamic Programming" part in below library file

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/0f/f08841e3af1609e10000000a155106/frameset.htm

or else,

still you are getting Problem, create any other ui element and set its visibility to false. (dont know how far it will help you)

regards,

Pradeep
