Show Parameter function

Hello,

We have a hideparameter function, but is there a showparameter somewhere hidden in the deeps of gdl code?

I want to show a parameter only when couple of conditions are met among the many I have.

IF door_opening <> 1 AND multi_door <> 1 THEN HIDEPARAMETER "second_door_opening" ENDIF

The idea behind it is, if the door_opening and multi_door are both different than 1, then hide the parameter. For some reason is not working for me.

For example, if door_opening = 2 and multi_door = 1, the parameter is showing still, which is not what I want. Only if door_opening = 1 and multi_door = 1 the parameter should show, otherwise keep it hidden.

Hope all this makes sense.

Juan.

It seems like using OR instead of AND it does the trick, but not sure if it is the right way.

IF door_opening <> 1 OR multi_door <> 1 THEN HIDEPARAMETER "second_door_opening" ENDIF

Hi,

what you said in the first half of you description was

"if the door_opening and multi_door are both different than 1, then hide the parameter"

IF door_opening # 1 AND multi_door # 1 THEN
	HIDEPARAMETER "second_door_opening"
ENDIF

***Not the outcome you describe in the second part of your description

what you said in the second half of your your description was

"Only if door_opening = 1 and multi_door = 1 the parameter should show, otherwise keep it hidden"

IF door_opening = 1 AND multi_door = 1 THEN !!!Show the parameter ELSE HIDEPARAMETER "second_door_opening" ENDIF

there is no "SHOWPARAMETER" command.

another way to write that in English would be:

"if the door_opening is different than 1 or multi_door is different than 1, then hide the parameter,

so only if door_opening = 1 and multi_door = 1 the parameter should show, otherwise keep it hidden."

IF door_opening # 1 OR multi_door # 1 THEN
	HIDEPARAMETER "second_door_opening"
ENDIF

The AND/OR for exclusion combinations are sometimes confusing.

the # "not equal to" is on the Shift+3 key on the keyboard.

I hope this helps.
