Hiding Checkboxes

rbuser

Hi there,

I have a report with some checkboxes and I want to stop the checkboxes from
printing if they are not checked. I have found the onDrawCommandCreate
event and am wondering if this is the place but are not sure what the code
would be. Thanks.

I think that you could do it that way, but it may depend on how you are
using it. We would (instead) set Visible to False if unckecked in
DetailBandBeforePrint (or groupHeader/Footer, etc).BeforePrint.

Hi Richard,

If these checkboxes are in the Detail Band, you should use the
DetailBand.OnBeforePrint event to check if the checkbox is checked or not
and set it's visibility to False if needed. If the checkboxes are in
another band, it is still a good idea to use that band's OnBeforePrint event
to toggle the visibility of the checkboxes. The OnDrawCommandCreate will
fire too late to get the results you are after.
