What is the best way to hide a table at runtime

newbie321

<p>I need to be able to toggle the visibility of a table at a runtime when running reports via birt engine api.  what is the best way to toggle visibility.  I searched for TableHandle.setVisibility() or similar methods but did not find any.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone has any pointers?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Thank you, Clement!!  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As you always, your answer hit the bull's eye.  This approach definitely worked.  </p>
<p>Before I did a sample basic report to see how the visibility changes in the xml code of the .rptdesign and saw this:</p>
<pre class="_prettyXprint _lang-xml">
<list-property name="visibility">
<structure>
<property name="format">all</property>
<expression name="valueExpr" type="javascript">true</expression>
</structure>
</list-property>
</pre>
<p>I was able to create a structure but did not know how to create <list-property>.  <br>
the</p>
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
.getPropertyHandle("visibility");
</pre>
<p>did the trick!!  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks again!!</p>
