Update of application form content

[Bernd Fischer]

Hi,

I want to create an app form;

With radio buttons on top, depending on the choice of the
radio button you select, the rest of the form should appear.
Which means for every radio button a separate form layout, except
the radio buttons itself.

Should look like the IC Craftsman rule editor form, if someone
knows it.

+ choice1 + choice2 +choic3
------------------------------- sep

appearance depending on choices


How to implement such a thing in an app form?
How to update only special areas, fields for a app form?

Thanks in advance Bernd

Bernd,

Your best bet is to use hiCreateTabField which handles this cleanly (as a
"notebook" or "tabbed" form), rather than trying to simulate it with radio
buttons. Things like the Rule Setup form for the schematic checker in
Composer use this, and it's rather more elegant than using radio buttons.
