Thanks Agni for responding to WCotech's actual issue! :) Looks like I was only discussing hiding the widget ... :S

Hi Wcotech,
You can do one thing, place your repeating table inside a section then have conditional formatting on the section instead of repeating table.

Hi Wcotech,
Good question. You can take a look at the xsl and change the font of the insert widget, but I'm guessing conditional formatting is impossible since the widget is a special control that attaches by default to sections, so you can't put it in a section of it's own.

You can hide the default insert widget and then add a button inside a section that does the insertion. This button can be formatted to look like the insert widget. Then you can add a condition to the button in which you have put your new insertion button and hide it conditionally. We've done this before.

Good luck!

Conditional Formatting on "Insert Item" text

wcotech — Sat, 16 Jul 2005 01:52:34 GMT

Hey all,

Is there a way, I'm assuming through code, to apply conditional formatting to the text used to insert an item into a repeating table? I'm asking because currently, I have a table that is hidden based on a condition but the text and the small icon are still visable. And no, I can't turn off the option to insert items into this table, I just need the text hidden at certain times.

Thanks!
