Hi Matt, >>Unfortunately, form controls don't have such a thing as a "visible" >>attribute, so everything you'd do here would be quite some manual work. > > How disappointing :(
Yes, indeed. This pops up from time to time, and I think it's really missing from the API (though non-trivial to implement due to the control-shape duality). Not sure if there already is an issue for it, IZ doesn't work currently. > Well, tabbing order would be a minimal problem. But, what do you mean > by "kind of make..."? Well, it is invisible. However, there might be situations where it's switched visible, again. I know that for controls in spreadsheets controls mighjt re-appear upon switching sheets. I don't know whether there exist similar problems in Writer. Basically, since you only make the peer of a control invisible, this might (but not necessarily will) be overruled anytime by the control itself. > I really appreciate your reply, Frank. Thanks!
