Re: Any way to show the whole form to user?

I don't think it is possible using xforms switch and case. However using 
model based switching it will be possible. With model base switch I mean 
the following:

If you have a switch case like
<xf:switch>
  <xf:case id="x1">
  <xf:case id="x2">

Then you would instead write
<xf:group ref="instance('ui')/activecase[.='x1']">
<xf:group ref="instance('ui')/activecase[.='x2']">
and have an instance in the model
<xf:instance id="ui">
  <data xmlns="">
    <activecase>x1</activatecase>

Now an xf:toggle will instead be a setvalue, e.g.
<xf:toggle case="x2"> -> <xf:setvalue 
ref="instance('ui')/activecase>x2</xf:setvalue>

Doing this will make the groups work the same way as a switch/case 
construction. But now you have more control since you could say that all 
cases are active when activecase=* by putting the following in the 
predicate:
instance('ui')/activecase[.='x1' or .='*']

This is the only way I can think of where you can control the appearance 
of switches.

Best regards,
David
