I have a form that I calculate a record ID after the user presses ADD. The
field I populate is hidden.
How can I have that same field visible when the user EDITS the record? I'm
not going to change the value - just display it?

Put a Label control on the page, call it lblEdit.
Change its datasource to Code Expression
Select lblEdit and create the BeforeShow event, specifying Add Code
In the event put this code
If EditMode Then
lblEdit.Value = Hidden1.Value
End If
Or if the language you use is not ASP, follow the syntax for it - the same
idea works for all.
You can't really distinguish Edit from Insert this way, so if not exactly
what you need, you can put a Link Parameter on the Edit and Insert Links of
your form. Put in parameters of type "Expression" such as value = 1 and
Name = "Mode" and value=2 and Name = "Mode" so each link passes a parameter
that lets you tell if Edit or Insert mode has been selected., then you can
change the "If" to test the value of the function
CCgetparam("mode","") to see if it is 1 or 2 and give the label a value when
it is 1. For the other two cased, the label will remain blank and not
appear on screen.

Excellent!
Thanks DonB.
The other way of course is to just make a seperate edit and add form. :)
Thanks again.

Oh man, put a big smiley face on that one! Unless you get paid by the form.
It would be handy to have a edit/insert property for controls where this
flip-flop could be done automatically. I find it's something that comes up
all the time. Especially for dropdown lists - a readonly label vs an edit
dropdown would be very cool.

How about using the EditMode property - if form.EditMode then
control.visible=true
This way one form fits all, and Brian's client saves the cost of 1 form. ;)

EditMode will note tell you whether you are preparing for an INSERT or for
an UPDATE. If you want different appearance for each of theses two types of
edits, you need more information than what you can get from EditMode.

Isn't the whole point of editmode to determine whether you're in Insert or
Edit mode? I've used it to display / hide objects like checkboxes or when
I'm editing a current record.
From the CCS Help file:
Description
This property determines whether given record form is currently in edit or
insert mode. In edit mode all data source parameters need to have values
assigned (including row identifier). In insert mode some data items may be
empty.

Yes, correct, as long as you want the form to only take on one of those two
states. I usually have to deal with a third, "neither edit nor insert".
With a grid and record on one page, I prefer to hide the record grid until
an edit or insert is explictly requested - so there is less clutter on the
screen.
This is where I found EditMode inadequate. If not editing, the record form
assumes "insert" (EditMode false). So it is not possible to tell when an
insert starts without passing another parameter to signify the "add new"
link was clicked.
Using only EditMode, I could not show the record form for the "insert" case.
My bad. This has become so automatic, I did not address Brian's issue
correctly - but you did, NetFocus.

Hi Don
Thanks for that; I think we normally see solutions in terms of the way we
use the tools or present options to clients; I don't think there's any harm
at all in seeing two or three different approaches to the same problem, and
given Yes's woeful lack of input to this group, this is the only way any of
us is going to pick up new tips.
Regards
Alistair

Make it a label. If it's not populated until the insert, it won't display.
When the field has a value, it will display.
You want it to be a label when it is displayed after the insert anyway.
Example.
On my user table, I have a Login Date that is updated to the current
date/time when a user logs in. I display the field as a label. After
adding a new user, nothing is displayed because nothing is in the field.
After the new user logs in for the first time, the data is displayed in the
field.
Amount of coding done ****** NONE ******.
Amount of Maintenance required ******* NONE ******.
Make things easy on yourself. Design for ease of implementatin and
maintenance.
Sure, there were some methods to go through and do a bunch of codding, but
why? If you can design it so you don't have to do any coding in the events,
then it will be that much simpler to maintain.
I have been developing for over 20 years and the worst programmers are the
ones that put in excessive code to do some simple little thing that can be
done very easily. It is simply creating more code that needs to be
maintained.

Thanks all for the help!
I went with multiple forms. :)
So the Insert Form is blank, Edit Form has the ID field on it. It works -
not the best way of doing it and the client was happy with the result! So I
call it a success!
Thanks again for all the help.
