check box setting

 [1/5] from: fprowse:uu at: 28-Jun-2001 14:13


Guys, how do I set the value of a check box? Is there a doc that covers this issue..? I have an example below I would like to use....if function/text isn't equal to "HR" then then an alert will be generated and the checkbox returned to an unchecked status. Ideally I would like the checkbox to not even be "selectable" or even visable unless function/text = "HR" however, I have not been able to work out how to do this either :) udc: label right 95x24 "UDC" check [if function/text <> "HR" [alert "Not valid for this device" set udc/????? ????] return ] Any help appreciated Francois

Hi Francios, You will need to assign your check (box) a variable name .. for example view layout [cb: check yes button "State?" [print cb/data] ] If you dont want it enabled then you could use a different type of field an LED perhaps? Cheers Phil -- Original Message -- Guys, how do I set the value of a check box?

In the couple of /View programs I've written, I've ended up assigning words (ie variables) to all fields that change: checkboxes, input fields, etc. In the absence of detailed docs for some of the /View functionality (or maybe it's just me), I will end up looking at all the resulting structures and hack at thier usage. - Michael Jelinek From: [philb--upnaway--com]@rebol.com on 06/28/2001 11:36 AM Please respond to [rebol-list--rebol--com] Sent by: [rebol-bounce--rebol--com] To: cc: Subject: [REBOL] Re: check box setting Hi Francios, You will need to assign your check (box) a variable name .. for example view layout [cb: check yes button "State?"

view layout [ c: check t: choice "HR" "ab" "cd" [ either t/text = "HR" [show c][hide c] ] ] I don't advise using "function" as a gui object name, because it is a rebol predefined word.
>> ? function

The above works, but is it just me who finds the use of 'data instead of 'state odd for a check box? The default values are none for 'data yet false for 'state, which suggests it's meant to be 'state but View's altering 'data instead. This show's what I mean... view layout [ text "Click on the check box and watch the output." x: check [print reform ["x/data:" x/data "x/state:" x/state]] do [print reform [ "Default Values: x/data:" x/data "x/state:" x/state ]] ] Which gives me this output... Default Values: x/data: none x/state: false x/data: true x/state: false x/data: false x/state: false x/data: true x/state: false x/data: false x/state: false etc... So, is it a bug, or am I missing something and a check box with a none as its default makes sense?
