How to conditionally show sub-forms depending on a data connection file?.

[LittlePenguin]

Hi, let say I have a form that shows a car specification and consists of N parts (sub-forms):

part I

part II

part III

...

part N

Those parts are sub-forms, and given a specific xml data connection file, I need to show the parts if and only iff certain elements of that xml exist or not. Let say, part II is called: "airbag", but if the car doesn't come with airbag (in the xml the airbag section doesn't exist) then the subform should not appear.

How can I do this?.

Thanks!.

Hi,

This is the sort of thing you can do with a subformset with the "Select One Subform from Alternatives" option.

There are some examples that come with the install of Designer, from the Designer install directory look in .\EN\Samples\Forms\SubformSet (assuming you want the english one, otherwise change the EN bit).

That seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, thanks!.
