Is it possible to create a scriptable object in the MathCad sheet that controls whether an area shall be collapsed or expanded in the sheet.

area is-collapsed="true"

vs

area is-collapsed="false"

I’ve tried to explain the “wanted” feature in attached file.

I think the most useful example is one from Tom Gutmaan, which shows how to define varibles by changing the XML.

One way to solution your problem!

Sometime we need show in Mathcad-sheet one formulas or other formulas.

One example on Mathcad Server

http://twtmas.mpei.ac.ru/mas/Worksheets/IF_in_WorkSheet.mcd

The tip of this task: change PICTURAS with formulas.

One Picture may be empty - showes no information.

It is "collapsed area"

No. I have wanted to do this as well, but unfortunately it is not possible.

You could use a conditional statements through a scripted component.

Not the best, but will work.
