Hello genero freaks,



perhaps somebody has a solution for the following problem:



In a form there are some edit fields and some dynamic labels.



I wish to hide a special edit field depending from the user.

That's no problem:



CALL f.setElementHidden("customer.custid",1)



It works, but the corresponding label does not hide!

It is a label similar like this:

label mx33 = txx_Preis



After the opening of the form a function displays 'Price' to txx_Preis.

(THIS IS UNCHANGBLE FOR ME !!!)



If I do the statement: CALL f.setElementHidden("FORMONLY.txx_Preis",1)

the Word 'Price' is visible, not unvisible!
The only solution for me is DISPLAY "      " TO txx_Preis.

This works, but is not very smart, because the runtime systems
can not regognize, that the form is less large then before and
ornaments the form with a scrollbar which is actually unnecessary.

2. Question:
How can I make invisible some formfields outside(!) of the
INPUT BY NAME statement, and not changing the form with 'HIDDEN'
in the Attributes of the field?
is this possible ?

any hints welcome
Georg
