hiding table when empty: how? [message #244626]

Hi !!!
Sorry for my trivial question.

I have a grid containing a title and a table(with results).

I'd like to hide the grid when my table dataset is empty.

Could you please suggest me how to do that?

Thanx,
Nico

On your table's Visibility property, check the Hide Element box, and
then put the expression (Total.count() < 1) in place of the boolean
true. This should hide the whole table if nothing is returned in the
data set.

Hi!
What you suggested to me works perfectly, but it's not what I'd like to
do, because in that way I hide the table.
I'd like to hide the grid (containing the table) when the table has null
dataset.

Bye
