Dynamically resizeable comb

[Former Community Member]

I have a numeric field called Chartfield Value. Its appearance is Underlined until a radio button is selected. When the user selects a radio button, I want the field to transform into a solid box with a particular comb size. The comb size will depend on which radio button is selected. Is this possible without creating a duplicate Chartfield Value field and adjusting the visibility? If so, how?

Thank you.

Just tried it and it looks like you cannot turn the comb on dynamically or set the number of Cells dynaically. Looks like you will have to use th emultiple field approach.

I suppose the million dollar question is, how do I code this resizeable comb such that each box is the same size? I can't seem to find the property to change the comb.

On the Object palette under the Field tab is a check box to set th ecomb on and a value for th enumber of boxes you want.

I would like to do this dynamically based on the selection of a radio button. For example, the account radio button should adjust the chartfield value field to be 6 digits, but fun should adjust the chartfield value field to be 4 digits. I assume both the number of "boxes" in the comb and the length of the field will need to be adjusted.

As I mentioned earlier you cannot set the comb on or set the number of Chars in the comb after the form has been rendered. These are design time properties only.
