Dynamically Show/Hide Columns

Hello friends
I am working on Crystal report 12.1
I have a table in SQL server with 24 fields.
Every 2nd field is bit field. kind of Visible True/False tag for previous column.
e.g. Name, Name_SH, Fund, Fund_SH -
Column names
Name, Fund stores value.
Name_SH stores, True/False for Name
Fund_SH stores, True/False for Fund
So, now, when I display report in Crystal report, user will select some fields from that 12 fields.
That will be processed throug Stored proc in SQL and feeds data in same table.
Now, in Report, How can I implement this situation, of display only columns with _SH = True.
and also, user need proper format, means, there should be equal space between all columns.
Please help me to solve this.
thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards

UNION to a single column with a secondary column for Type (field name) and remove invisible ones from the UNION process.
Then, use a CrossTab to show the final result.

Dynamically show/hide columns for DelimitedData output

My users want to see only dynamic sets of data from the same report query.
For example, if the query returns:
Date, Widget1Count, Widget2Count, ..., WidgetZCount
User1 wants to see Date and counts for widgets 1,2, 5, and 10
User2 wants to see Date and counts for widgets 2, 3, 4, 5, 10-20.
Uset3 wants to see Date and widget 99 count.
I don't want to write a custom report for every single user nor do I want to create Z! number of queries to satisfy every possible request combination.
I wonder, is there a way to change "Exclude from XML Output" property for a particular query field(s) from a report AfterPForm or BeforeReport trigger?

Hi,
I had the same problem, but I saw the Metalink document: 340793.1, which gave the solution I needed.
In my case, I needed to limit the number of columns being outputted in a DELIMITEDDATA format based on a user parameter.
I ended up with the following code in my After PForm trigger, which did the job.
BEGIN
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<report DTDVersion="1.0">');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<customize>');
-- For those columns I want displayed, Set the XMLSuppress property to False
FOR tmp IN 1 .. 10 LOOP
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<object name="col_'||LPAD(TO_CHAR(tmp), 3, '0')||'_title" type="REP_COL_MAP">');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<properties>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<property name="XMLSuppress">False</property>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</properties>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</object>');
END LOOP;
-- For those column I don't want displayed, Set the XMLSuppress property to True
FOR tmp in 11 .. 100 LOOP
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<object name="col_'||LPAD(TO_CHAR(tmp), 3, '0')||'_title" type="REP_COL_MAP">');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<properties>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('<property name="XMLSuppress">True</property>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</properties>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</object>');
END LOOP;
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</customize>');
SRW.ADD_DEFINITION('</report>');
SRW.APPLY_DEFINITION;
END;
I hope this helps with your problem.

Dynamically show/hide pages in a workset for special users at runtime

Hi all,
I want to create a workset that contains pages for different countries. The portal users should only be able to see the countries where they do business. I also would like masterdata from R/3 to drive the display of content on the portal.
- Is there a way how I could dynamically show/hide certain pages of the workset for the specific users?
- Would this showing/hiding of pages affect the workset for all users or only the instance for the specific user?
- Would there be a difference when I want to dynamically show/hide iviews in a page instead of showing/hiding pages in a workset?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Timo,
Check out the article located at:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/ep/portal_content/filtering role and workset content.htm
It talks to exactly what you're trying to do. I'd imagine you could extend this simplistic example to have the service pull the users country from his/her master record in R/3 and set their filtering expression accordingly.
Hope this helps,
Marty

Dynamically show/hide Excel WPA

Hello,
I am working on a web page, where list of links will be given. On user-click on a link either it will show target web page in a iframe or it will show a excel sheet in excel wpa. On the basis of link clicked, I need to hide/show iframe and Excel WPA. I can
control iframe using javascript but i don't know how to work with Excel WPA. At a time either iframe or Excel wpa will be shown on the screen but not both.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to dynamically show/hide Excel WPA.
If the Excel WPA is Excel Web Access Web Part, you need to get the ID of the Web part and hide the web part.
When you click the link, you need to get the parameter form the URL and then display the web part.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

Can you help me if is possible to create a pivottable binding to a one ViewObject and in code show/hide or compose the layout of the pivottable ??
I search in google and OTN oracle and not find any code.
Only find the code of the samples that is very complex for me , the code of the samples create the PivotTableModel from one Array , and i want to binding from one ADB BC ViewObject.
Thanks in advance

The solution I presented for your use case an DOAG 2013 was to create a pivot table binding out of user defined attributes from the table. For the defined attributes a VO is dynamically created as well as the pivot binding. The pivot binding is then exchanged at runtime together with the activation of the dynamic VO needed to only get the data needed for the particularly pivot table.
Your solution using the CubicEditor is hard to implement due to the missing documentation. This was the reason I did not follow this approach, However it's not impossible (done it on a very small scale).
None of the solution are what I call simple. They are complicated, complex and in part not supported solution (exchanging the pivot table binding at runtime need to use internal classes, which is not supported).
I can't give you a working sample as it's too complex. I can make the slides available, however they are in German.

Carl - Show Hide columns and report templates

Carl,
I've implemented the show/hide report column techniques from your demo pages. Thanks for that, it's working well.
I am having a slight issue. I'm using theme12, and when I implement the technique there with the alternating row color template, the functionality works fine. But when I switch to standard report template I have some issues.
Debugging the code :
function html_HideCellColumn(pId){
35 var l_Cell = html_GetElement(pId);
36 var l_Table = html_CascadeUpTill(l_Cell,'TABLE');
37 var l_Rows = l_Table.rows;
38 l_CellI = getCellIndex(l_Cell.parentNode,l_Cell)
39 for (var i=0;i<l_Rows.length;i++){
40 html_HideElement(l_Rows.cells[l_CellI]);
41 }
42 return;
the pId is what expect before line 35, but after, it looks like the html_GetElement is returning null.
Is there something in the template that would cause this change? I am able to reproduce this behavior consistently. Thanks for any input.

Hello,
The table headers in the standard report template of that theme are missing the id attribute so changing this.
<th class="t12header" #ALIGNMENT# >#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
to
<th class="t12header" #ALIGNMENT# id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
and your good to go.
Carl

Show Hide Columns

Is there a way in which columns can be hidden from the resulting html report.
I guess to bring them back you would have to click on show all, or something like that ?
It would be like accessing setting a show/hide checkbox in the Report Attributes but in this case allowing the user to make the choice.
Any ideas would be appreciated

Mark,
One way of doing this would be to make the columns conditionally displayed. You could then write a condition that e.g. checks the value of a page item being yes or no. The page item could be set by the user. So you could have a radio group, or button, or select list to turn off or turn on columns within your application.

Marc

Dynamically display/hide columns according to user inputs

Hi,
I need to display or hide columns in reports based on user input. ie. I have several prompts, if user doesn't input values, then the associated columns will not be displayed in the report. Is there a way to achieve this in BO XI R2. Greatly appreciated for your help.

Hi Andy,
You can't hide them totally, but you can get close using alerters.
Build an alerter (probably a formula one) that put the value ="" in the field.
Now the formula should test the userresponse for that column,
based on the contents of it (filled in --> false, otherwise --> true).
Apply the alerter to all cells of the column. It will empty completely when the prompt was not filled.
Just set the width of the column to automatic (best use the header cell only) and the minimum width on zero. It will shrink the width when empty, making it seem as if hidden.
Good luck,
Marianne

Is it possible to show/hide dynamically columns in RDLC form?

We need to show/hide dynamically columns in our Report RDLC form based by the user desire needs.
We need by the predefined checkboxes to set which columns should be seen and which should be hidden.
Is it possible in RDLC form to make it "show/hide columns dynamically" with any way?

Depends on what you mean dynamically, you still need to press the view report button.
What you can do is right click on the column you want to be able to hide/display in design mode,
click "Column visibilty", choose "show or hide based on an expression" then in your expression base your true or false on a boolean parameter for each column

Hi Andy,
Yes, I replaced the code calling the same things in a loop to one loop getting the Table reference once and I build an array of column numbers at the time the report is built so I don't have to get the column number each time....
it is a couple of seconds faster in about a 30 second response time. It will have to do it for now, no more time unless you see something in this new code...
Thank you! Bill

Show/hide a column in JTable

How is this possible
Note that columns that are hidden may be showed later
thanks in advance
Renjith

I tried out for this:TableColumn col = jTable.getColumnModel().getColumn( colnum );
if( col != null )
col.setPreferredWidth( 0 );
col.setMaxWidth( 0 );
}But the column seems to have minimum width which you can't even change with col.setMinWidth( 0 );

Container resizing when dynamically showing/hiding components

I work with Swing for quite some time, but there's one thing that's bugging me all the time - when you dynamically show/hide some components, the container is not resized appropriately. That means that some components are cut off or hidden beyond the container edge. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, can somebody help me?
The easiest example is here. I'll create a label that is hidden by default. When I dynamically show it, the frame/panel is not enlarged and therefore the label is not visible until the user manually resizes the frame/panel. Only after that you can see it.
(Usually I use the layout manager used when designing UIs in NetBeans, but I hope these default layout managers will demonstrate the same problem.)
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class DynamicComponentDemo {
    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Dynamic Component Demo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        final JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        frame.add(panel);
        final JCheckBox checkbox = new JCheckBox("Show label");
        final JLabel label = new JLabel("This is a label!");
        checkbox.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
            public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
                label.setVisible(checkbox.isSelected());
        label.setVisible(false);
        panel.add(checkbox);
        panel.add(label);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
}What can I do to force the frame/panel to resize appropriately when some new component is shown? Moreover, can you point me to some documentation regarding these matters?
Thanks.
