Toggle a GET as readonly/not readonly

[Ollie]

How can I make my program do the following:

(I understand the 'WHEN' is not available)

REDEFINE CHECKBOX oDbf:IsGift ID 4015 OF oDlg UPDATE
REDEFINE GET oDBF:GiftFrom ID 4033 OF oDlg UPDATE WHEN oDBF:ISGIFT=.T.

i.e. I want the oDBF:GiftFfrom field to be "READONLY" when oDBF:IsGift is FALSE and
oDBF:GiftFfrom field to be "MODIFY-ABLE" when oDBF:IsGift is TRUE

Try:

REDEFINE CHECKBOX oDbf:IsGift ID 4015 OF oDlg UPDATE;
ON CHANGE (if(oDBF:isGift, oGet:lReadonly:=.f., oGet:lReadOnly:=.t.), oGet:refresh())

REDEFINE GET oGet oDBF:GiftFrom ID 4033 OF oDlg UPDATE

That makes it READONLY, but is there a way I can (more visably) 'gray' it out (The way it looks when you use the NO MODIFY clause in a GET define.)

Do you know what I mean?

oGet:disable(), oGet:enable()

Or

Code: Select all

REDEFINE CHECKBOX oDbf:IsGift ID 4015 OF oDlg UPDATE;
         ON CHANGE oDlg:AEvalWhen()

REDEFINE GET oDBF:GiftFrom ID 4033 OF oDlg UPDATE WHEN oDBF:ISGIFT

That's what I was looking for - thanks.

I notice, however, that these fields look different:

REDEFINE GET oDBF:TEST1 ID 4030 OF oFld:aDialogs[ 1 ] UPDATE NO MODIFY

(has a gray background)

REDEFINE GET oGET VAR oDBF:TEST2 ID 4030 OF oFld:aDialogs[ 1 ] UPDATE
oGET:disable()

(has a white background)

How do I match them to look the same - the latter of the two looks better I think.

Code: Select all

REDEFINE GET oDBF:TEST1 ID 4030 OF oFld:aDialogs[ 1 ] UPDATE WHEN .F.
