Display Visible=false controls in Designer

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by LC 16

Hi - I have setup a FormViewer that connects to a SharePoint list to display the item details. For each of the controls, I have setup a condition/action to display only if there is data available using the Visible property e.g. If(IsBlank(Description0),false,true). This works great.

 

The only issue is all controls are hidden in the designer view because there isn't any data! What's the best workaround this situation? Understand you can access these controls via left hand panel 'Screens' but I require the visualisation to change the look and feel, etc.

    You could use "CountRows(SharePoint_List_Name)"  to detect the "No Data" situation and assign a dummy record. You could even assign something like "Loading data..." to your text fields.
