Creating Invisible Control Fields

Your page design may require an invisible control field. For example, if users are interested only in the contents of the related display field, then make the control field invisible. Unlike visible control fields, you can overlap an invisible control field and its related display field.

Note:

If you specify a field as invisible in PeopleSoft Application Designer, you cannot make it visible using the Visible property in PeopleCode.

To add an invisible control field with a visible label:

1. Access the properties dialog box for the invisible control for which you want the label to appear.

2. Select the Use tab.

3. Set the appropriate field use options:

   1. Select Display Only, Invisible, and Show Label to make the field invisible and its label visible.

      Important:

      The Show Label option is not supported for page controls on fluid pages.

   2. Select Display Control Field.

4. Select OK.

5. Add an edit box to your page.

   Place this edit box directly to the right of the display control field that you just set.

6. Access the properties dialog box for the new edit box.

7. Select the Use tab.

8. Select Related Field.

9. Select the appropriate control field from the Related Control Field drop-down list box.

10. Select OK.
