includeInLayout hide/show a component

20 sec read

Let’s say you have a Label and you want to show this label only when condition == true, you may do this:

<mx:VBox>
    ... other components ...
    <mx:Label text="this is label" visible="{condition}"/>
    ... other components ...
</mx:VBox>

But you will find your invisible Label still takes its space. Then you may try something like

<mx:VBox>
    ... other components ...
    <mx:Label text="this is label" visible="{condition}" height="{condition?20:0}" />
    ... other components ...
</mx:VBox>

Then you need to know the exact height of Label (20 is a good guess but not exact).

The ultimate solution is to use includeInLayout and visible (Yes, you need specify both visible and includeInLayout)

<mx:VBox>
    ... other components ...
    <mx:Label text="this is label" visible="{condition}" inclueInLayout="{condition}" />
    ... other components ...
</mx:VBox>
