I want to be able to Hide / Unhide textboxes on a form in Base by a macro. I have searched for hours but cannot find an answer. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Hello,
Most of the controls have a property on the General Tab of Visible
which can be set to Yes
or No
. This same property is available in a macro by getting the relative object and setting the enableVisible
property to true
or false
.
This link has some sample code → How do I make a button visible from a macro?.
This link has a sample Base file with code using various objects → Libreoffice Base - Display Form based on Group Box Option selected
Here is a link to other links regarding LO documents. Macro information is there also. OOME by Pitonyak is regarded as the best single document. See → To learn LibreOffice Base are there introductions or tutorials?
Thank you so much. I will work through these ASAP.
