I have a subform named ItemSet with a button on it named RemoveLineBtn.

I want to make another button on the main subform (P1) that will hide the RemoveLineBtn buttons. I can't seem to get the reference right. I know I need to use presence = "invisible".

How can I do this?

LiveCycle Designer, Windows

Maybe a solution for you.

I was looking for the same for hiding button on maser pages and found a solution for this.
You will have to modify the script a bit, but mainly it should be the same.

Didn't help. Maybe I'm not as good with Livecycle stuff as you are. It only removes the first 2 buttons on the subform. I need it to remove all instances of the button, and I have the form set to have 8 repeating subforms on itialization, with more possibly added by the user.

I think I need to use [*] somewhere, but I am having trouble figuring it out. Any other ideas?

I finally got it in FormCalc. It is
xfa.form.form1.P1.ItemSet[*].RemoveLineBtn.presence = "invisible"

I never have been able to get the Javascript version, though. Can anyone tell me how that would be translated to javascript? I really want to know this just as a learning experience so I will know how to reference a field on a repeating form on future forms. Thanks.
