hide FormItem in DynamicForm

[ql20080101]

Hi there

I used a DynamicForm to create a table, ex. 2 rows and 2 columns, every cell is a FormItem.

When I hide one FormItem, the following FormItems in the DynamicForm will automatically move forward to take the position of the hidden one.

My question is, in a DynamicForm, how can I keep all the FormItems in their original postion when I hide some of them.

Thanks.

The only way is to replace the formitem you hide with a spaceritem.

Thank you very much!

Are there any simple ways to replace formitems in a DynamicForm?

Thanks.

Not really, in fact pretty difficult the whole concept your talking about. I know I've faced it before too. Of course breaking the form into multple forms could be a solution depending on the design (but of course presents other issue with databound and what not).

Could tinker with padding/cell spans when hiding, but yeah no easy solution to this at all. Can't replace formitems without a new form unfortunately. Would certainly be nice the whole addMember()/removeMember() idea, but I'm sure not trivial to do.
