I have a Text Field where user will enter a code which is 7 characters long
 
can be any 7 characters (numeric, alphabetic, special, etc...)
 
if user enters code in Text Field, then I want the Text Box with pre-typed characters to show
 
I know hos to show or hide text/objects, but how do I tell it if 7 characters or more
 
if (EnterCID.rawValue = "XXXXXXX")
PEFCode.presence = "Visible";
else
PEFCode.presence = "hidden";
 
Your help is greatly appreciated
 
Thank You

Hi,

try this in the change:Event of EnterCID:
  1. if (xfa.event.newText.length >= 7)
  2. {
  3. PEFCode.presence = "visible";
  4. }
  5. else
  6. {
  7. PEFCode.presence = "hidden";
  8. }
