how create collapse panel in form for field or group of fields

[eugzl]

Hi All.
The form that I'm developing has field or group of fields which not necessary to display constantly. Is it possible to create collapse panel by way that if field or fields are hidden they will not occupy space on a form? If yes. How it to do?



Thanks

No, not possible. Unless you move them to some location that does not affect the other controls.?
A lot of work, I would have thought?

rather than hiding them, set their top and height properties to 0. It there are controls below this group, you can then move them up and then reset the section height (which just needs setting to 0 - form will then reduce section height to the lowest top+height value

Hi Ajax. Thanks for reply.
Very interesting idea. I will try. Just can show me how can I change height and width of form and control programmatically? For instance, in AfterUpdate event.
Thanks

In vba your code might look like

Ctlname.top=0
Cltname.height=0
…
…
Section(1).height =0

Change the 1 for whatever section the controls are in (1 header, 2 footer, 0 detail)

Put it in whatever event you are using to ‘hide’ the controls
