Show and Hide containers

Identifier

Hi,

We are using TeamSite 6.1 on Solarsi. I have simplified my DCR to demonstrate the problem. I have 3 containers in my DCT, one with radio buttons and the other two that show and hide based on the radio button selected. It works fine if I explicitly select the radio button. But, if I have a radio button pre-selected, the setVisible(false) is not working. I put some debug code to make sure this statement was being hit.

I thought I would get around the problem if I don't pre-select one of the radio buttons and force the user to select one, but this does not work when a saved DCR with one of the choices selected is opened.

Below is my code. I would appreciate any help. Even if you don't know the answer to this particular problem, but if you know how to kick-off an event after sleeping for a while, I would appreciate your posting that as well (I am hoping I can kick-off the radio-button selection event after the form is painted, thereby causing my hide/show to work fine)

Thanks,
Identifier.

Yeah, just as you have this function registered to onItemChange, you can also register it to onFormInit, which sets the initial visibility of your container.
