Hi All,

I have a table view form without the header part (so the header is build by Servoy automatically) and I cannot access my labels through forms.myform.elements.mylabel after it’s loaded.  
The label has its ‘labelFor’ property filled, so it acts like a column header.  
Other labels whose ‘labelFor’ property is empty are accessible.  
Is this something that Servoy can/will fix any time soon or should I look for a workaround?

I need to disable/enable those labels because they serve as buttons to add records to grid views.

Cheers,  
Maria

Also, it looks like I cannot apply visible/accessible security to labels that go in the automatic header… Or am I doing it wrong?  
(security is applied through security.setSecuritySettings(dataset) - works for normal form elements)

Hi guys,

Could anyone give an opinion on the above please?  
Particularly interested in the security aspect of the question.  
Thank you!

Cheers,
