Empty view in web - Please help

Hi,

I am trying to display a view on a web page but if the view is empty its showing a message ‘No Documents found’. Is there a way by setting some property or code that if there are no documents in the view, it should show as empty view on the web page.

Thanks,

Jai.

Yes it is possible to handle this.

One way is to hide the embedded view all together based on a criteria.

The critera is a computed field placed on the parent, containing a dblookup or a dbcolumn to test if a view is empty.

Something like:

ViewContent := @DbColumn (“”:“NoCache” ; “” ; “ViewToTest” ; 1);

@If (@Elements (ViewContent) > 0 ; 1 ; 0)

Now this field has 1 when the view is not empty and 0 when it is empty.

Hide the embedded view (or the html code for teh view) when the field is 0.

Thanks Nick.But I dont want to hide the view infact I want to show an empty view. The problem I am facing is, whenever the embedded view is empty it is showing a message ‘No Documents Found’ where as I need the empty view to be displayed.

Please let me know if I am not clear.
