Suppressing a Graphic Frame When Empty

[dhealy72]

Hi All,

 

I am wanting to know how to go about suppressing a graphic frame if that frame is empty. Some of the records in the data have a logo that feeds into the frame and some do not. I have a text box with a return address that I am using text wrapping to wrap around the graphic, but when there is no graphic for a particular record, I want the text box to slide over to where the logo would be. It seems to me that if I would be able to suppress the Graphic frame when there is no logo to feed in, the text box would slide over into position.

Make sense? Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

You can suppress a frame like this, in OnRecordStart:

if ([i]some_condition[/i])
   FindGraphicFrame("YourFrameName").suppress = true;

However, that doesn't prevent text from wrapping around the frame. So you probably want to do this instead:

if ([i]some_condition[/i])
   FindGraphicFrame("YourFrameName").textWrap = false;

Or, if the frame has a border, you might need to do both:

if ([i]some_condition[/i])
{
   FindGraphicFrame("YourFrameName").suppress = true;
   FindGraphicFrame("YourFrameName").textWrap = false;
}
