[CLOSED] Hiding Labels within Anchor (FormLayout)

[Steve]

*Hi,

I'm trying to hide the field plus label (textbox, combobox) in codebehind. Is there a better solution than this at present?

TextField.Hide() only hides the input field, not the label. TextField.HideLabel = true appears to have no affect.


Cheers

Hi Steve,

yesterday we made one change which allows to get label on client-side. If you need show/hide label in form layout for concrete field then use the following code (update from SVN first)*


TextField1.AddScript("{0}.label.hide();", TextField1.ClientID);
TextField1.AddScript("{0}.label.show();", TextField1.ClientID);



We will add more*convenient*server side functions for label soon.

*Hi Vlad,

OK, I'll use these functions for now. My only concern is that if you are using these within a viewport, and switching between hiding and showing labels, you might get a buildup of rubbish within the page. Although you execute the added code immediately, I'm assuming it still stays within the DOM which then grows with each operation.


Looking forward to the server-side control. Cheers!

The js does not create DOM objects. Its just executing a js function.
