Hi,
This can be done by using the validate function of the drop down list. but first make sure the "commit selected value immediately" is checked in the drop down properties.
Then you can add validation,
(for this validation my radio buttons are "Group8", and my text fields are name "TextField.1", "TextField.2", etc.....)
[ please note the dot in the text field]
This enables me to use this code on the validation event of the drop down list
// hide radio button group
this.getField("Group8").display = display.hidden;
// hide all text fields
this.getField("TextField").display = display.hidden;
if (event.value == "showAll") {
// show radio button group
this.getField("Group8").display = display.visible;
// show all text fields
this.getField("TextField").display = display.visible;
} else if ( event.value == "showText"){
// just show the text fields
this.getField("TextField").display = display.visible;
} else if ( event.value == "showRadio"){
// just show the radio buttons
this.getField("Group8").display = display.visible;
} else if ( event.value == "showTextOne"){
// just show one text field.
this.getField("TextField.1").display = display.visible;
}
