Visible property and retained space

[Sean]

Hello,

I have a subreport that lists items and in some cases an item may have a remark or comment. The problem im having is that if there is no remark I set the visibility to false, however the space where the text is remains. How can I resolve this?

CURRENT OUTPUT:
    GROUP HEADER
        Item1

        Item2
            remark
        Item3

        Item4

DESIRED OUTPUT:
    GROUP HEADER
        Item1
        Item2
            remark
        Item3
        Item4

Thanks

Steve,

This is quite unfortunate.  I have a payment voucher that I am creating based on a very specific layout.  Many items are not shown at runtime which is causing the placement of other fields to move around.  The only workaround is to set the text values to an empty string and set borders to "none" on fields I would normally just set to hidden.

I found a workaround for this.  If you set the anchor properties of the controls you don't want to be affected by the visibility of other controls, this will solve the problem.
