How do I change an objects value type depending on a Y/N Radio button?

[dperani70]

I have the following code behind some Radio Buttons:

Form1645.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.TeeCross::exit - (JavaScript, client)

if Page3.TeeCrossSubform.TeeCross.rawValue = "N" {

    xfa.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.Disruptfield.access = "open";

    xfa.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.TeeCrossCC.access = "protected";

    }

else {

    xfa.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.Disruptfield.access = "protected";

    xfa.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.TeeCrossCC.access = "open";

    }

NOTE: I based this code on the following information (which may be wrong but I found nothing else on the subject): http://forms.stefcameron.com/2010/03/08/disabling-all-fields-within-subform/

No matter which radio button is selected (Y or N) the fields are all "open" or "unprotected".

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I think you SOM expression is not correct.

xfa.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.... should be xfa..Form1645.Page3.TeeCrossSubform...

I have update the code to be the following but it still doesn't work:

Form1645.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.TeeCross::exit - (JavaScript, client)

if xfa.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.TeeCross.rawValue = "N" {

    xfa.Form1645.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.Disruptfield.access = "open";

    xfa.Form1645.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.TeeCrossCC.access = "protected";

    }

else {

    xfa.Form1645.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.Disruptfield.access = "protected";

    xfa.Form1645.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.TeeCrossCC.access = "open";

    }

Any other ideas?

Hi,

sorry my fault, the SOM expression still maybe wrong.

Try

Form1645.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.TeeCross::click - (JavaScript, client)
if (xfa.form.Form1645.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.TeeCross.rawValue == "1") {

xfa.form.Form1645.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.Disruptfield.access = "open";

xfa.form.Form1645.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.TeeCrossCC.access = "protected";
} else {

xfa.form.Form1645.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.Disruptfield.access = "protected";

xfa.form.Form1645.Page3.TeeCrossSubform.TeeCrossCC.access = "open";
}

Thank you radzmar!  Based on your code I determined the issue I did incorrectly is I didn't use the '==' in the if statement and I missed the () brackets at the beginning and end of the logic statement.  It has been over 10 years since I took my Java course in school so I am forgetting the little things like this!

Hi again radzmar!

What if i want to restrict user from using the arrow keys within radio button??

I have 3 options in on radio group where the 2nd and 3rd options are protected. Ofcourse tab order does not work there but when the focus is on the first option, i am still able to move to the next options (2nd and 3rd) with arrow keys and they get selected despite them being "protected".

This happens only when i use arrow key and now while using mouse!

Please help!

Thanks,
