Hi Patti -
Give each of the static text and radio groups component IDs that have
the same first x number of characters, then you can use a wild card in
the PROPERTY command:
e.g.
You might name the Static Texts cidST1, cidST2, cidST3a, cidST3b,
cidST4, etc
The radio Groups can the same IDs also - cidST1, cidST2, etc.
The "cid" prefix is part of my own naming convention for ComponentIDs.
Then issue a PROPERTY cidST* VISIBLE 'TRUE' and they would all be
visible, 'FALSE' makes them invisible.
You could issue PROPERTY cidST3* VISIBLE 'TRUE' to make only cidST3a and
cidST3b visible.
PROPERTY cidST3a VISIBLE 'FALSE' would make only that one question
invisible.
Be sure you use the correct wild card - type SHOW at the R> and look for
MANY.
I'm not sure about your second question...make sure the DBEdit is not
buried under the radio group. Right-click the DBEdit and click Bring to
Front; you could then right-click it and make it Hide On Startup. Use
the PROPERTY [componentid] VISIBLE 'TRUE' when they click the
appropriate radio button.
Happy Sunday,
Doug

I have 8 static text and 8 radio groups that I want to make visible or
not. And I have a bunch of sets of these. Is there a way to tie them
all together and make them invisible all at once?
Also I have a couple of radio groups that have "Other" as the last
button, and then I want to put a edit field for them to describe their
other choice. Is there a type of control for this already build. I
tried to locate my DBedit field in the radio group box, but that
didn't work.
I really hate this form. Entering a form on a computer is not how a
social worker should be getting to know a new client. But, that is
what they want.
