Hiding/showing rows depending on whether certain IDs are contained in an array.

AlbertYu

Hello,

I am trying to hide rows on a table, depending on whether certain IDs are contained in an array (BIArray):

for (r=0; r<BIArray.length; r++)
{
if (BIArray[r]==this.getRowData().getColumnValue("BI_CompID"))
{
ShowRow=true;
break;
} else
{
ShowRow=false;
}
}

(this code is on the table's detail row's onCreate method).

As you can see, if BI_CompID's value is the same as a value in the array, then I want to show the current row in question, otherwise, I want to hide it.

ShowRow is currently used in the detail row's "Visbility" property, which is set to:
- Hide Element = checked
- For all outputs = option selected
- Detail (All Outputs) set to: ShowRow==false

This method works for most values. However, there are some values that are showing that shouldn't be showing. So this method in its current implementation doesn't work perfectly.

I was thinking, perhaps there is a better of doing this?

Perhaps I can hide the row on the table's detail row's onRender method? If so, what is the JavaScript command for this?


Thanks,
Albert
