on/off the automatic calculation of field values

Question

I understand that I can turn on/off the automatic calculation of field values in the Preferences > form tab. Is there a method to put this on a button in a form?

Normally I would like to leave it off and let the whole calculation happen only once when the button is pressed.

This code by itself doesn't make much sense, no. Do you want the button to toggle the automatic calculation?If so, use this:this.calculate = !this.calculate;if (this.calculate) this.calculateNow();

Yes, you can do that by setting the value of the calculate property to true or false, like this:

this.calculate = false;

this.calculate = true;

However, keep in mind the enabling the calculations does not cause them to actually happen.

If you want to do that you can do so like this:

this.calculateNow();
