Hide a field from statusboxes - but display it in a listbox?

[datanibbler]

Hi,

I have made a small inline_table with all the fields that can be displayed in a straight_table I have. Those have checkboxes so the user can just tick those fields he/she wants to see.

<=> The problem is, if the total list of the selections in this field is displayed in the statusbox, that takes up a lot of space and it doesn't really add any value for the user because it has nothing to do with how the actual data is sliced and diced.

<=> I cannot use the HidePrefix or HideSuffix because then it seems that adding a listbox from this field to the GUI isn't possible anymore, so there goes my easy checkboard ...

=> Is there any inbetween_solution (to show that listbox, but not show the selections in this field in the statusbox?

Or do I have to use a textbox to do this? And if so, how can I specify that the Getcurrentselections() function should return all selections in all but this field?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

DataNibbler

Can you be bit more specific with your problem.

Also, provide the sample data

Enable the Show System Fields option first, then add the field.

You should be able to create a list box also for fields that use the HidePrefix / HideSuffix.

Just enable 'Show System Fields' when selecting the field name.

Hi DataNibbler,

there are several alternative approaches possible to a current selection box but all have advantages and disadvantages, maybe one fit to your aim:
