hi

create a context attribute say 'visible'.

Now go to its property.

Browse for property then under package 'com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions' select the element named 'visibility'.

this will set the property of your attribute.

you can change it as wdcontext.currentcontextelement.set<your attribute>(wdvisibility.none);

Hi Sujesh,

Right click on attribute you have created. Select property. In the proprties select Type. Click on the three dot button at the end of row. In the dictionaries select local dictionary then select com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions in that select Visibility. And now assign this attribute to the visibility property of your input field.

Hi,

You can read the value of the InputField from the contextAttribute associated with the Texts property of the InputField.

Ex:wdContext.currentContextElement().get<Attrib>()

You can make inputfield visible/blank through Context.

Create a attrib of type WDVISIBILITY and bind it to inputfield visible property and change the value in the button click.
