[ALLY] Re: How can I hide the field?

Hello, Just write l: layout [ f: field with [show?: false] t: text "test"] view l Regards Cyphre

I have the following: l: layout [ f: field t: text "test"] hide f view l I expected that the field would be hidden but alas not. How do I hide the field? Thanks Brett. --- http://www.codeconscious.com

You can hide/show, like this (press the button): view layout [f: field button [hide/show f]] or look at this: rebol [ Author: "Allen Kamp" ] view layout [ button "Click me to hide!" 120 feel [engage: func [f a e][hide f ]] ] ;a bit more elaborate view layout [ button "Click me to hide!" 120 feel [ engage: func [face action event][ switch action [ down [face/state: on] alt-down [face/state: on] up [if face/state [hide face exit] face/state: off] alt-up [if face/state [hide face exit] face/state: off] over [face/state: on] away [face/state: off] ] cue face action show face ] ] ] or my way: code: [ lay: layout compose [ t: toggle "button" "field" g: (either t/text = "button" [[button "button"]][[field "field"]]) button "review" [unview/only lay do code view lay] ] ] do code view lay Hope it solves your problem.

Hi Brett, Just little reminder... But be careful of pressing TAB key while you have in layout more than on field and any of this fields is shown. Pressing the TAB will jump to the hidden field and show it...maybe some kind of VID "feature" ;-) BTW have you someone simple solution for that? this is an example: ---- l: layout [ f: field f2: field with [show?: false] t: text "test"] view l ---- click into field to activate it and press TAB...

Hi Brett, Until the layout has been shown 'hide won't have any effect. So you could do it this way to keep that face from showing. l: layout [ f: field with [show?: false] t: text "test"] view l Once shown 'hide works as expected. e.g l: layout [ f: field t: text "test" button "Hide F" [hide f] ] view l Cheers, Allen K this is fun!
