Javier,
 
Could you display your "proper" control when you want the data visible and another pre-formatted alternative when you don't?
 
Regards,
Alastair.

I have some columns (hourly rates) in a form that I need to hide from users depending on access privileges. I have tried:

PROPERTY vci_blank_field ENABLED 'FALSE'

This simply makes the values displayed dimmed, not good

 

PROPERTY vci_blank_field COLOR 'BLACK'

This makes the background color to the same color of the text, but if you highlight the column the value shows up in reverse color, not good.

 

PROPERTY vci_blank_field VISIBLE 'FALSE'

This makes the whole column text and background disappear, this is close to what I want; however, I would like the column frame to stay and just the text not to display. I thought about changing the font to something like wingding where the numbers would show up as characters but I cannot seem to find a property to change the font or to display the column background and frame only. I have also tried:

 

PROPERTY vci_blank_field FRAMEVISIBLE 'TRUE'

But this does not appear to have any effect. The only other thought I have is to place a blank frame behind the column so it will show when the column is not visible. If you have a better solution or any suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated.

Javier,
