formatting

  • I am trying to cause a parent group to be formatted conditionally on the visibilty of a child group.  Can anyone help me with the syntax to determine the visibility of the child group?

  • I am telling you this off the top of my head, so syntax could be off since I am not at the office.

    Edit the property and select "expression" for the parent control.  In there build the function similar to below as an example.

    = iif(child.visible, "red", "blue")

  • I get an error saying that Child is not declared.  I appriciate all the help you can give me.

  • if the child group's visibility depends on an expression, can't you use the same expression? if not, what are you trying to do exactly? The group won't appear if there is no data in it anyway.
