limit data shown in infoWindow component

TracySchloss — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:21:52 GMT

I have a component for my infoWindow set up to only show when a particular field has data in it. This has worked quite well for me to 'close the gap' of blank lines when I don't have data in a particular field.

I now have an instance where I only want to show "field3" if "field1" and "field2" are both blank. I tried combining the two, but I'm getting an error. I don't know if I can't do this, or if I've just got a syntax problem.

<mx:Component className="MyInfoWindowRenderer">
      <mx:VBox verticalGap="-5" height="100%">
        <infoClasses:InfoWindowLabel styleName="balloonTitle" text="{data.FACILITY}" width="100%"/>
<mx:Label text="{data.ADDRESS}" />
<mx:Label text="{data.CITY}, {data.STATE},   {data.ZIP}"/>

             <mx:Label includeInLayout="{data.PHONE1 != ''? true:false}"
visible="{data.PHONE1 != ''? true:false}" text="Phone: {data.PHONE1}"/>

             <mx:Label includeInLayout="{data.PHONE2 != ''? true:false}"
visible="{data.PHONE2 != ''? true:false}"
text="Phone: {data.PHONE2}"/>


<mx:Label includeInLayout="{(data.PHONE1 != ''? true:false) && (data.PHONE2 !== ''? true:false)}"
visible="{(data.PHONE1 != ''? true:false) && (data.PHONE2 !== ''? true:false)}"
   text="Phone: {data.PHONE3_FB}"/>

<mx:Label includeInLayout="{data.DAYS != ''? true:false}"
   visible="{data.DAYS != ''? true:false}"
   text="---------------------------------------" />
<mx:Label includeInLayout="{data.DAYS != ''? true:false}"
   visible="{data.DAYS != ''? true:false}"
   text="{data.DAYS}"/>
<mx:Label includeInLayout="{data.HOURS != ''? true:false}"
   visible="{data.HOURS != ''? true:false}"
   text="{data.HOURS}"/>
<mx:Label includeInLayout="{data.CERTIFICATION != ''? true:false}"
   visible="{data.CERTIFICATION != ''? true:false}" text="---------------------------------------" />
<mx:TextArea width="100%" height="60" includeInLayout="{data.CERTIFICATION != ''? true:false}"
   visible="{data.CERTIFICATION != ''? true:false}"
   text="{data.CERTIFICATION}"/>
<mx:Label includeInLayout="{data.LOC_CODE != 'CENT'? false:true}"
   visible = "{data.LOC_CODE != 'CENT'? false:true}"
   text="** Location Approximate **"/>
        </mx:VBox>
</mx:Component>

Tracy,

You have a syntax issue

(data.PHONE1 != ''? true:false) && (data.PHONE2 !== ''? true:false)

Yes I do - thanks for catching that. Unfortunately I still have an error:
The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.

I'm not sure what "entity name" is, but since data.Phone2 does follow right after the &, that wouldn't seem to be it.

Tracy,

Not sure but I would try

(data.PHONE1 == '') && (data.PHONE2 == '')

Not it either. I decided this wasn't just a ESRI/FLEX issue, but could be an issue with anything that's using data binding.

I searchd Google and found this, which worked:

<mx:Label includeInLayout="{(data.PHONE1 == '' && data.PHONE2 == '') ? true:false}"
visible="{(data.PHONE1 == '' && data.PHONE2 == '') ? true:false}"
text="Phone: {data.PHONE3_FB}"/>

I wouldn't have thought actually putting in the ampersands that way would work. What do I know - I'm not a programmer, I just play one when I come to work!

Good to know... Glad you got it working.
