we can use conditional formatting to hide/show a section, if you want to show/hide it on a button action.

have a field say hide_section_A set its default value to Hide.

on the section right click and go to conditional formatting and give a condtion

if hide_section_A is not equal to Show

and check the hide this control checkbox.

now double click on the button go to rule and in rules add ->

on condition write a condtion

if hide_section_A is not equal to Show

add action set value of a field

hide_section_A = Show.

also check the checkbox stop processing rules when this rule finishes

and another rule

if hide_section_A is not equal to Hide

add action set value of a field

hide_section_A = Hide.

also check the checkbox stop processing rules when this rule finishes

on the button properties set the default value of the button(Fx) to hide_section_A

Hello,

I am new to infopath. Hopefully some kind soul out there can help.

I would like to create a button in infopath that can be used to open / close a section of a form.

Upon click the section should open and the button label should change to "close section"

Click it again, and I would like the section to close and the label to change to "open section"

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

Mike
