Hiding Various Fields-on selection Check box

Hi Few days Back I got a Required to Disable a validation check on a combo box depending on a check box selection. I put the following in Disablevalidators of the combox

var status = getComponent('d_checkbox').getValue();

if (!status || status !== '0') {return true;} return false

means if the check box is not selected the field validator will work, if it is checked the field validator will be disable. It worked fine.

Now I have another requirement to hide the fields, combo box, labels etc on the same condition as above

I tried to put the Same in Visible Computed, it not hiding the fields when check box is enabled. 

var status = getComponent('d_checkbox').getValue();

if (!status || status !== '0') {return true;} return false

I am new in Xpages, I am learning and doing modifications, Can some one please help me how should I get this

 

Thanks

hmmm

Not sure I have a great answer.  I almost never use "getComponent" and do more of my validation in the save events.

 

if (!status || status !== '0') 

 

I've never seen the "!==" before.  What does that do?  I would have thought you'd want "!="

Ideally if you could bind that checkbox to a viewScope variable then you could more easily see the value at any given time and have the visible/rendering of the things you want to hide read in the viewScope variable.

return viewScope.get("myVar");

 

Just a thought

Hiding Various Fields-on selection Check box

!== means not equal to

 

I also tried using

 

 

var _key1 = viewScope.get("iDraft") || @GetField("iDraft");

 

if(_key1 == "0"|| _key1 == "[0]" ){

true

}else {

false

};

 

but it's not hiding the field, any other logic to hide the field if check box in enabled
