Hello!
I'm trying to remove a column based on whether or not a checkbox is selected. I can't seem to select an entire column, only a row, and I can't make cells "hidden", so I've decided to try to reduce the width if I need it hidden. My script under the change event is:
if($=="1")then
Table1.Row1.Cell10.w="0.4898in"
else
Table1.Row1.Cell10.w="0.001in"
endif
My initial setting for the cell width is 0.001 as the checkbox is "0"
Seems a little hokey and there must be a better way. Even the above is not working at all.
Note I'm also only changing the size of one cell as doing so manually has proven to adjust the entire column. Should I continue with this assumption when using a script?
Suggestions??
Thanks!

Hi Joanne,
Have a look at this example here: http://assure.ly/gk8Q7a.
If you have a look at Table 5 in LC Designer, you will see that I have two columns at the end:
If you look at the script in the click event of the Edit button, you will see that I have a loop that works its way through all the instances of Row1 and show/hides the appropriate cell in each row.
Hope that helps,
Niall
Thanks Niall ... though I've modified your response to FormCalc
It's begun to work though there appears to be a slight glitch. Only the column cell for Row 1 is showing up. It would seem that it isn't correctly counting/adding all rows. Also, when I unselect the checkbox, it isn't re-hiding the column.
My script:
var vRows = Table1._Row1.count
if($=="1")then
var i=0; i<vRows; i++
Table1.Row1[" + i + "].Cell10.presence = "visible"
Table1.Row1[" + i + "].Cell11.presence = "visible"
Table1.Row1[" + i + "].Cell10.relevant = "+print"
Table1.Row1[" + i + "].Cell11.relevant = "+print"
else
var i=0; i<vRows; i++
Table1.Row1[" + i + "].Cell10.presence = "hidden"
Table1.Row1[" + i + "].Cell11.presence = "hidden"
endif

Hi Joanne,
I would not have been inclined to change it to FormCalc. Why not leave it as JavaScript?
The syntax is not correct for FormCalc:
I think that this would be closer to working for FormCalc, however I have not tested.
var vRows = Table1.instanceManager.Row1.count - 1
if ($=="1") then
for i=0 upto vRows do
Table1.Row1[i].Cell10.presence = "visible"
Table1.Row1[i].Cell11.presence = "visible"
Table1.Row1[i].Cell10.relevant = "+print"
Table1.Row1[i].Cell11.relevant = "+print"
endfor
else
for i=0 upto vRows do
Table1.Row1[i].Cell10.presence = "hidden"
Table1.Row1[i].Cell11.presence = "hidden"
endfor
endif
I would recommend changing the language to JavaScript and following the previous example.

Okay, engage brain Niall
This should be much more straightforward in FormCalc without a for loop.
Try this in FormCalc:
if ($=="1") then
Table1.Row1[*].Cell10.presence = "visible"
Table1.Row1[*].Cell11.presence = "visible"
Table1.Row1[*].Cell10.relevant = "+print"
Table1.Row1[*].Cell11.relevant = "+print"
else
Table1.Row1[*].Cell10.presence = "hidden"
Table1.Row1[*].Cell11.presence = "hidden"
endif
The * wildcard should apply the changes in properties to all of the instances of Row1. See this example: http://assure.ly/kUP02y.
Hope that helps,
Niall
