Dynamic labels

Posted on Apr 15, 2011 at 09:25 PM 16 Views

Hi

I am working on VC 7.0 EHP1. SP 8.I have a requirement as follows:

There are two drop downs on my form view : Country and State.

On choosing the Country the drop down State gets filled with the associated states for that country.

My requirement is to change the label "State" for countries like Canada where there no states but "provinces".

So if a user chooses "Canada" from the Country drop down the label should read "Province" for the second drop down and not state.

Is that possible with current version of VC i am on?

Please help.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Shweta

    Hi,

    I would first find out condition, which explains whether country has states or not.

    Based on that condition, I would set a flag in store (true/false).

    then select the item on form in layout view. Go to configure. In the General section, there will be Label entry available.

    there I would put formula.

    eg.,

    =if(store@state_flag==true then "STATE" else "PROVINCES".

    Hope this helps you,

    Regards,

    Vinay.
