Hide/Show fields/blocks

Hi,

I have a trouble with a window there I need to hide/show fields depending on 
choices maid in the window. Changing field values directly in window make it 
difficult to work and it is just field values that are supposed to control 
showing/hiding.
I have tried with CONTROL "Hide <block> <field>"  and it
work well in 
development version but GUI version is a mess. I have tried to have fields 
in different blocks and make the whole bloc show or hide but the result is 
even worse.

Besides that, the window size is supposed to change depending on how many 
fields is visible. Is that possible?

The version of XAL is 3.1

Grateful for any hint,
Nadira 

Hello Nadira,

I think you've to use the following (copy form helpfile):
    REPAINT is used to re-display the entire form to show all changes made
such as adjustments of field length etc. Note that text changed using the
TEXT control command is not re-read and must be entered again. The syntax
for the command is:

    CONTROL "REPAINT"

    The indirect syntax for the command is:

    #Frm_REPAINT

Regards Detlev

If no block name is included, all visible records in the current block will
be updated.
