I have done quite a thorough search on this but haven't found a solution that will work.
What I have is a generic page... "home.php" that is called with a variable.. such as home.php?page=1 or home.php?page=2 etc etc
All content to be displayed is pulled from the database, by way of various include files.
I have one include file "display_page_content" that populates the main content of that particular page.
All of this is working perfectly so far 
Now My Problem
Some pages require the inclusion of generic forms, for example "home.php?page=2" requires a contact form to be displayed.
All of my forms are stored in includes/forms/
how can I get this to work?
I have tried reading the page and displaying the appropriate form as necessary, but this isn't working for me.
Any help, much appreciated.

I usually put a PHP switch() statement in the Main page's BeforeShow event,
and based on CCGetParam("page","") would set Visible=true for the
appropriate Include while setting Visible=false for all the others.
Is that what you are doing?

Thanks, that sounds like the trick I need.
could you give an example of how you reference the included page to set it to visible.
Cheers

$includecontrol->Visible = false;
I find it's best to keep the Include control's name the same as the Include
page itself. There's something wrong with the name resolution, or my
understanding of how it's supposed to work, if they are different. If not
the same, you'll get an error about "calling a member function of a
non-object".
So, if the Include page you create is named "IncludePage" and the Include
control inserted in your main page is also "IncludePage", then add this to
your main page:
global $IncludePage;
$IncludePage->Visible = false;

Hi DonB.
I appreciate your help... however I don't have it sorted yet...
Here is what i have and what i have done.
Scenario
I have a main page (home.php) that includes various other pages (menu, title etc)
The include of importance is "display_content.php"
"display_content.php" queries the database based on what page is being requested (home.php?page=3) for example. And it should also include the appropriate forms.
Testing
So to test your code... in the Before Show Event of display_content I have the following....
global $newsletter;
$page = CCGetParam("page","");
switch ($page) {
case 1:
$newsletter->Visible = false;
break;
}
and I have included the page "newsletter.php" which is a form located at includes/forms/newsletter.php
Outcome
so, I would suspect when I browse to home.php?page=1 the form would not show, however this doesn't work, it still shows.
So, I tried to set $newsletter->Visible = false; by itself, and that does not work either.
I guess I am missing something simple here, but not sure what.
Regards
Adam

Not right. You must show/hide the includes from the MAIN page (home.php)
BeforeShow event. Trying to hide an Include from the Include's BeforeShow
is too late - it's already in the midst of being "shown" by the time that
event occurs.

For testing I have put the following code into the main page...
global $newsletter;
$newsletter->Visible = false;
.and that does not work either
the code for my included form on display_content is...
{newsletter}
Do i need to wrap the include with something like...
<!-- BEGIN Form newsletter -->
{newsletter}
<!-- END Form newsletter -->
Thanks again
Adam

Nope, the BEGIN/END is not required. I can't figure out what is wrong on
your end, because it works - I do it ALL the time.
I think you should enlist the support.codecharge.com folks and have them
take a look at it. Something's misbehaving.

Thanks for the help everyone, the answer was simple... I had to reference the included page like so... because it was included in another include
global $display_page_content;
$display_page_content->newsletter->Visible = false;
Display_page_content includes another page 'newsletter'
Once again, thanks for your help.
Regards
Adam.
