Check box - When yes is checked no will uncheck

[JCooley9]

I need help figuring out how to make the check boxes to where only one option can be checked at a time, either yes or no. I am using check

boxes rather than radio buttons because i also need them to be able to be unchecked by re-clicking on them.

I am fairly new to this i would need a step by step for the most part. Thank you!

Hi,

Just add the following script on the click event of checkbox:

Let's suppose their are two checkboxes CheckBox1 and CheckBox2.

1: On click of CheckBox1 set the value of CheckBox2 as null

form1.firstpage.CheckBox2.rawValue=null

2:On click of CheckBox2 set the value of CheckBox1 as null

form1.firstpage.CheckBox1.rawValue=null

and second issue to uncheck by re-clicking on them is bydefault provided with checkbox.

Thanks

Hi, I tried the scripts you had suggested and it is not working for me... I don’t know if I am putting them in the wrong location? I pulled up the script editor for each object and put them in but when I preview the form it still gives the option to check both. Also I need to know how to script for 3 check box options

I did not mean to send that ... is there a way to delete your own posts?

I use the Actions Builder menu under tools to create an action where is one checkbox is checked, the other is unchecked and vice versa. I think the action builder is new to this version of LiveCycle and that's why I asked you which version you had. Everyone seems to really like writing script to program things but this version of LiveCycle has done alot of that for you.

Let me know if you have the action builder and then I can give you more directions for how to make those actions.

I tried doing that I was putting the action as when CheckBox 3 is checked CheckBox 4 is disabled. But then I cant uncheck the box after I check it. Which result are you using for your action?

You would have to make it: When CheckBox 3 is checked, CheckBox 4 is Unchecked. When CheckBox 4 is checked, CheckBox 3 is unchecked. I think that would work.

Here is the most optimal way to do this:

You can use radio buttons and just change their appearance. You can change the Round shape to Square and Check type is "Check"

I originally had radio buttons, but I could not uncheck them after they had been checked so I changed them to checkboxes as many had suggested.

Hi Jenna,

     I have sent you a sample to your hotmail address, and i just added a simple script to make the collection of check boxes mutual exclusive.

Sample Script on each Check box

form1.PageOne.collectionSub.CheckBox1::click - (JavaScript, client) if(CheckBox2.rawValue == "1" || CheckBox3.rawValue == "1" || CheckBox4.rawValue == "1"){      this.rawValue = "0"; } form1.PageOne.collectionSub.CheckBox2::click - (JavaScript, client) if(CheckBox1.rawValue == "1" || CheckBox3.rawValue == "1" || CheckBox4.rawValue == "1"){      this.rawValue = "0"; } form1.PageOne.collectionSub.CheckBox3::click - (JavaScript, client) if(CheckBox2.rawValue == "1" || CheckBox1.rawValue == "1" || CheckBox4.rawValue == "1"){      this.rawValue = "0"; } form1.PageOne.collectionSub.CheckBox4::click - (JavaScript, client) if(CheckBox2.rawValue == "1" || CheckBox3.rawValue == "1" || CheckBox1.rawValue == "1"){      this.rawValue = "0"; }

Please let me know, whether am i understanding correct.

Thank You
