You can do it in the BeforePrintEvent of the DataBand or any other band on which the StiText component is placed.

Thank you.

For also you can use property Conditions of this text component.

Thank you.

Hi,

I can Hide StiText Using BeforePrintEvent but StiText = "" it can't work. Only StiText = " " it's work. (got a space inside)

Another things is StiText is in Databand. I set Databand to AutoShrink. The StiText i want to hide is in the last row.
But it can't Auto Shrink.

I think the problem is at StiText cause it's value " ".

In this case, how to solve this kind of problem?

Thanks.

Yes, it is true.
If Text1.TextValue contains " " value then such component will not be shrunken to zero height.
You can set Text property of the text component in the following way:

Code: Select all

{Line==Categories.Count?String.Empty:Categories.CategoryID.ToString()}

In that case text component from the last row printed will contain an empty string inside. If you set CanShrink property of the DataBand and of the Text component on it in true then the last row will disappear.

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm using VB.Net.

If Fields Label is stiText, How do i hide it?

For eg, Name : Steven Tan -> Format (Label : FieldValue)

How to hide label "Name" when FieldValue is empty?

Thanks a lot.

For example:

{IIF(FieldValue.Length = 0, "", FieldValue.ToString()}

Thank you.
