Hey there,

I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to get the equivalent of an OMO in Xpression.

For example: If I was to design a table, but wanted to have the ability to select how many rows are visible.

I guess there must be a way to do this in Visual Logic but wasn't sure how.


Any help is appreciated.

Many Thanks

Yeah, you can do this in visual logic a couple of ways... Either tie the visibility of each row to the 'is empty' value of the text designated for that row, so that rows only appear if they are populated, OR you could have a text field who's visibility is toggled off, but published so an operator could enter a number, and you tie said entered number into row visibility... There's likely at least a half dozen other ways to accomplish it too, but these are the ways I have gleaned how to make this kind of thing happen...

I built a columns full-screen where text1 is the first column with operator-entered line-breaks to create the rows...and so on. In visual logic, I used the bounding box width of the first column to set the x-position of the second column. Seems like each column was a child of the previous, but I'm not sure. I didn't have any borders to complete a table look---that presents a whole new challenge.
