Label for another label

Classic Servoy

Hello there,
If you set the “labelFor” property of a label to another label (not field) and you set the visible = false for that originator label, then it’s assigned label is not set invisibile.
It works fine for fields, but I’m missing the same behaviour for labels.

Thanks,

Why do you need a labelfor label for another label ? It can be used for tableview header rendering but there you can hide the column with setting it invisible.

I have a record view form, where I need to show either

  • an editable field,
  • a label in case the user should not edit the value,
  • or none.

So I made 2 controls: a field with an attached label and a label with an attached label. I connect them to the same dataprovider.

In case I don’t need any of those displayed I set the field and the label to invisible, but I also have to set invisible the label for the label. :)

It’s not a big deal, but I wondered if you can duplicate the behaviour from a normal field to a label.

Thanks again,

ok, add a case in our support system (http://www.servoy.com/s) and we’ll have a look about this.

maybe you could use a none editable field with no border. that pretty much has the same look as a label.
