Alternate State. How to refer to inherited state in script

[Anonymous]

I have an multi-box object which is set to an alternate state. However, I want this object to be visible only (using Layout \ Condition) when a selection has been made on a list-box which is not set to any alternate state (default inherit state). How can I do that?

Thanks,

Dinesh.

Maybe I am missing something. Did you upload a wrong example by mistake?

Hi Dinesh,

just use this function in the layout condition of the multi box (substitute fieldname):

=GetSelectedCount(fieldname) > 0

This will work when you do not use an alternate state. I am using the new feature alternate state which came with QV11.

I don't really understand your problem. Can you upload an example please..

in the file i attached the list that appears when you select 2006 is in alternate state you can see this because you can see that all the months values are in white while in the list beside some of the months are turn gary

so the right month list is in a diffrent state then the year list which is in the inherited state just as you described

The problem here is there is no suitable solution for a different or multiple selection of the year...

That was never the intent. I had to show/hide a report only when a specific value is selected and hence it works for me.
