CA SDM supports conditionally including content on a form. For example, the Request Detail form (detail_cr.htmpl) uses a lookup control for its change attribute only for new requests. For existing requests, it uses a read-only lookup that displays in Design view.
WSP shows both Textbox controls for the change attribute side by side, even though the user will only see one at a time. It shows the conditional control as a word in red text, such as, for example, If or Else. You can view the Properties dialog for a conditional control the same way as you display the Properties dialog for a typical control.
The conditional controls displayed by WSP correspond to PDM_IF and its associated tags. PDM_IF: Conditional Processing discusses these tags, including the syntax of a conditional.
WSP shows four types of conditional controls:
|
