Hello,
I've been designing an interactive form and towards the end of the making I started to struggle with one issue. I'll try to put it as brief as possible.
I placed a Button on a form, and below the Button there's a SubForm containing a bunch of fields. The SubForm represents a single row in a table and the fields are populated dynamically from an internal table. I'd like to hide some of the rows of this table upon a button click (rows that contain some fields that match a particular condition).
For example: once the form has been generated - it shows all goods (all rows) that are available. One of the fields (let's name it Fld_Type) says whether this particular article is a fruit or a vegetable. And with the button click I'd like to hide all the rows for which the Fld_Type value is 'vegetable').
I've been struggling with that for some time now but I haven't been able to come up with any satisfying solution... I'd be very grateful if someone could help me out with this one.
Thanks in advance
T.

I know how to control the visibility of subforms. My problem is how to refer to a subform created dynamically (taking into account some values of the fields this subform contains)...

use the "resolveNodes()" function to get a collection of the dynamically created subforms. The loop through them and test the fields to find the ones you want.
for example, "mySubform" is the dynamically generated subform, and assuming that the parent subform to "mySubform" has flowed content, and you'd like it to colaspe when the subforms are hidden.
var mynodes = xfa.resolveNodes("form..mySubform[*]");
for(var i=0;i

Here's some code that shows and hides a subform named "mySubform" based on the state of a checkbox named "myCheck"
mySubform.presence = (myCheck.rawValue?"visible":"invisible");
This will only work if the form is saved as dynamic.
