Hiding or displaying InfoPath sections with C#

[rkellow]

Hello,

Is there a way to conditionally show (or not show) a section in an
InfoPath form with C# code?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

Rob,

As far as I am aware you can't do that programatically in the current
version.

Thanks for the reply Andrew. It's not exactly what I was hoping to
hear though. I have a dropdown at the top of a form and depending on
what the user selects in it I wanted to show one section or another.

Thanks again,
Rob

Hi Rob,

In that case, you don't need C# code. You can use conditional formatting in
your sections to Show/Hide based on the value stored in the node linked to
your drop down box.

Rob,

To do it in the design interface right click on the section, choose
Properties then select the Display tab, the click on Conditional
Formatting.

It may be worth mentioning to read up xdExtension. It is the closest
thing I could find to writing managed code that would hida a section.
