Hi Denis, that's a similiar problem I had (and partly still have): to render a component based on current application data.
The suggested solution was to either - use the "if" - component to include the rendering of a component based on a test-condition. The test-condition is an application property and will be evaluated when the page/component is constructed for a response. That might be a good solution when there are not too many things to show/hide. - use "block" returns from the application. I was until now not able to do that since I did not yet find a way to instantiate a "Block" containing an arbitrary component and return it to a Block-Element in the tml. If you find a good way, please let me know.
