Example
The following statement is for the Visible property of a text control with the words On Leave located to the right of columns of employee information. The statement says that if the current employee's status is L, which means On Leave, the text control is visible. Otherwise, it is invisible:
If(status = 'L', 1, 0)
The status column must be retrieved
The status column must be included in the data source even though it does not appear in the DataWindow object itself.
The Design view includes the text control at the right-hand end of the detail line. The text control is visible at runtime only if the value of the status column for the row is L.
In the resulting DataWindow object, the text control is visible only for the two employees on leave. For a picture, see Font.Strikethrough.
