Unhide
Mon 01 January 2018Syntax
Unhide(scrollpath, target_row, [recordname.]fieldname)
where scrollpath is:
[RECORD.level1_recname, level1_row, [RECORD.level2_recname, level2_row, ]] RECORD.target_recname
To prevent ambiguous references, you can use SCROLL. scrollname , where scrollname is the same as the scroll levelâs primary record name.
Description
Use the Unhide function to make a field visible that was previously hidden with Hide. If the field was hidden by setting its Invisible property in the Page Field Properties dialog box, then Unhide has no effect.
Note: This function remains for backward compatibility only. Use the Visible field property instead.
Generally, you want to put this function on the same scroll level as the field that is being changed in RowInit (which executes on every row) or FieldChange (which executes on the current row). This simplifies the functionâs syntax to:
unhide(fieldname)A typical use of the more complex syntax is when looping through rows on a scroll on a lower level than the program.
Note: This function shouldn't be used in any event prior to RowInit.
