Re: Dynamically Hiding/Showing Text

[Quoted] Hi Frans,

One technique is to create a text item, not navigable, updateable, etc. and then set it to your field title in form initialisation and after cancel. Make it look like your boilerplate text and use set_item_property to show and hide the text.

Alternatively, define some boilerplate text and put it on a stacked canvas, then use show_view/hide_view.
