Hello to all.
How do I control the visibility of hyperlinks created on a page using the
Add Link button on the Forms tab on the toolbox? I'm using CCS 2.2.2.40.
Advance thanks for any help.

There are two ways:
1. set the Visible property to False: Link1.Visible = false
2. change the Value property to an empty string (in the controls's Before
Show event): Link1.Value = ""
I usually do it the second way, because I often set the Value in the event
anyway. If the link happens to be bound to a field in the database, then
there is a third option - the link being hidden when the data field is empty
( a variation of #2 above).

Don, thank you very much! Worked like a charm.
Another question though. My links is listed with bullets on it's left side,
eg.
o Link1
o Link2
o Link3
So depending on the access level, I need to disable/enable or display/not
display Link2, so if the user is not allowed to view Link2, the list should
show
o Link1
o Link2
How can I go about this? Thanks again for the help.

Please try using custom code in the page's or form's "Before Show" event like this one:
'Lookup user's security level
Dim security_level
security_level = CCDLookup("sec_level", "users", "user_id=" & CCGetUserID(), DBConnection1)
'Hide appropriate Links
Select Case security_level
Case 1
Link1.Value = ""
Case 2
Link2.Value = ""
End Select
(of course you may need to replace various variables above with the ones that correspond to your database/system)

Hiding the label does not remove the <LI> tag that exists in the HTML
template, so you will have to move the tag into the label:
If <condition for showing the list item> Then
Link1.Value = "<LI>" & Label1.Value
Else
Link1.Value = ""
End If
Do this within the Before Show event and be sure the Link is set to "Html"
Content type (not the default of "Text"). Remove the <LI> from the HTML
template.
Your HTML should end up looking something like this:
<UL>
{Link1}
{Link2}
{Link3}
</UL>

Thanks again so much Don. While waiting for your help, I did find another
way of accomplishing this. I right-click on the link and choose Edit Link
<NameOfLink> Layout... item on the context menu. I then checked the Extended
HTML checkbox. I then edited the HTML code to include the <li> tag between
the <!-- BEGIN {Link NameOfLink} --> and <!-- END {Link NameOfLink} -->
blocks (where {Link NameOfLink} is the name of the link). I added the code
in the Before Show event that will render the link visible or not visible
( I used the Link1.Visible=false or true method).
But I guess your method is better and will try it out. Thanks so much for
the help. :)

This is a good point. The when HTML controls are enclosed in a Template
Block (that pair of comments which CCS recognizes and interprets), then they
will obey the Visible property. This will not work with a Label, however,
since Labels are not contained in a Template block.
The HTML is just a template - which means it is defining the just layout not
the data. CCS only cares that it can find and replace the various tags and
Template Blocks with data when the page renders - feel free to move the HTML
around or change it if you want to change the appearance from what you see
by default.
You can use this principle with Grids (and their HTML table layout) to
produce interesting results. The HTML table "row" is not constrained to
being a single row from your data source. As long as you understand that
the Grid control contains several Template Blocks which define how the rows
of your datasource (recordset) are handled, you can rearrange the HTML as
you like - you can even eliminate all the table HTML and replace it with
<LI> or <BR> or even fabricate XML elements if you like. Just be sure not
to alter the nesting of Template Blocks.

Hi All,
I have another situation with LINKs.
We have record editor page, which is refered by 2-3 pages. Our requirement is to check the source and once record is edited, then it should return to the same source.
Ex.
Search Page1 --> Grid Page1 --> Record Page1 --> Grid Page1
Editable Grid Page2--> Record Page1 --> Editable Grid Page2
So, Buttons (Add/Submit/Delete/Cancel) Return Page parameters should returned to the source page only.
Thanks
NK
