VID: Check problem

 [1/4] from: kpeters::otaksoft::com at: 1-Oct-2007 9:48


I use the code below to "lock" faces on data entry screens to prevent users from accidentally changing things. II just noticed that I cannot seem to update checks when they are locked - that workd fine for all other faces. How can I handle this? Thanks Kai lock-fields: func[ pane [block!] flag [logic!] ][ either flag [ unfocus foreach face pane [ if any [ face/style = 'field face/style = 'fld face/style = 'btn face/style = 'defbtn face/style = 'rotary face/style = 'rot face/style = 'choice face/style = 'sel face/style = 'check ] [ face/feel: none ] ] ][ foreach face pane [ if face/style = 'check [ face/feel: svvf/check ] if any [ face/style = 'field face/style = 'fld ] [ face/feel: ctx-text/edit ] if any [ face/style = 'rotary face/style = 'rot ] [ face/feel: svvf/rotary ] if any [ face/style = 'choice face/style = 'sel ] [ face/feel: svvf/choice ] if any [ face/style = 'btn face/style = 'defbtn] [ face/feel: svvf/btn ] ] ] ]

Hi, What are you doing to update check boxes ? Did you notice that when you remove the feel object, then the face can't be redrawed even if it has been updated ? I would try to remove the feel/engage function only (not the whole feel object) A better solution is to not modify the sub-faces but the face container to block the 'down event (using the detect function) for all sub-faces. But in that case, the action buttons should not stay in the same container. ==Steeve

Hi Kai, Just a small optimization. These are equivalent (in your lock-fields function, anyway): any [ face/style == 'field face/style == 'fld face/style == 'btn face/style == 'defbtn face/style == 'rotary face/style == 'rot face/style == 'choice face/style == 'sel face/style == 'check ] find [ field fld btn defbtn rotary rot choice sel check ] face/style Anton.

Hi Steeve ~ that strikes me as a far better solution than what I have. Alas, I have no clue as to how to do what you suggest. Would you mind helping me out with a few lines? Thanks, Kai
