Urgent help in forms 6i

[ilaiy]

In a Multi Record How do i generate the Number of records
displayed depending on the requirement.

For eg
=====
Item 1==rec1==rec2==rec3

Item 2==rec1==rec2

Item 3==rec1==rec2==rec3==rec4

I should be able to increase or decrease the number of records
in any item at run time as required

In the above eg different items should only display 2 or 3 or 4
records only as per requirement.

Normally during design time we can alter the number of records
displayed via the Property Pallate i.e the number of records
displayed but in run time this property in unavailable in set
item property

cheers

Number of records displayed - Forms builder property only.
and you can't use this property in set_block_property();

You may try to use stacked views for shadow part of canvas, where placed additional records.

Thanks a lot for that..but i think that will not be that helpful
to me because the no.of items in each item (in the multi
record ) could exceed upto 70 and .The no.of items is 70.
So it is a matrix of 70*70..
It will be difficult if i use a stacked canvas..The situation
bececomes even worse becuse we have an option of drag and
drop..If u have any other ideas.Plz let me know..U can get in
touch with me at ilaiy@hotmail.com.

If you have a 70*70 matrix and you are not so keen using stacked canvasses, then one of the possibility is to use Tabbed Canvasses.

Distribute your fields in your records according to functionality , say for instance gropu personal details in one tab, Departmental details in another tab.

At new_form_instance trigger, you would know if that tab has any set of data. in such a case, enable the department tab. In on data for department tab, then disable it and make it invisible.

Notr Tab Canvasses can be programmatically changed.

Hope this will help

Hi
Using a tab canvas will not help..I think u did not get what i told ..It is a multi record and each item can have 70 record so placing them in a tab canvas is not at all helpful..
