We are migration multiple large applications to Thinkwise.
In the financial applications that the users are used to, amounts of zero are blank/not displayed in the user interface.
Is there a simple way of achieving this?
(Looking for a very lightweight solution, as we would need to implement this on hundreds of columns...) 

(We are on Universal GUI)

Hi Theo,

I’m sure you’re aware of the heavyweight solution with expression fields, views and such.

So, the most lightweight solution I can think of is… (drumroll) weaving a conditional layout which makes the value 0 the same color as the background! 😅


Yes if it was only a handful of columns I know plenty solutions. Conditional layout still too heavy 🙂. I will supply the end users with jars of Tipp-Ex. Or ask Thinkwise for a GUI enhancement.


In my opinion this should be a non-SQL solution based on a domain property (empty-when-zero). This way the application/view/data source can still work with the value 0 while not bothering the users with that value.

That sounds like an Idea! Please raise one 😉
