Hi Bill,
I was experimenting with a panel and put it underneath after my controls were
all on. That didn't work. So maybe I need to put the panel down and then my
controls? And I didn't use enhanced panel. I wasn't really sure what a panel
was so I didn't know if I should "enhance' it.

Patti,If these controls can all be situated near each other, locate an Enhanced
Panel, put all the controls on the panel, and use a single property command to
make the whole panel and everything on it visible or invisible.Bill(sent from

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.
