Can I change the color 1 checkbox from a group of mutually exclusive checkboxes with 0-based index ?
How can I access the 0-based index of an individual radio button or check box widget for a field that belongs to a mutually exclusive group of checkboxes?
All the SDK documentation that I've read doesn't illustrate with a clear example of how to work around this if you use .fillColor or readonly .
Can anyone confirm if this is a field versus widget attributes issue?
In the script below, the condition works perfectly when I use the checkThisBox parameter, for example.
However, I can't figure out how to achieve the same results with fillColor and readonly.
Here's my script example:
//I hve three mutually exclusive checboxes acting like radio buttons
//each checkbox has export values assigned like "myCheckbox 0", "myCheckbox 1", "myCheckbox 2"
// var g is a dropdown depending on what is selected the conditions below should be met
var g = event.value;
var f = this.getField("myCheckbox");
if ((g =="True") || (g =="False") || (g =="Don't Know")) {
f.checkThisBox(2, true);
f.readonly = true;
f.fillColor = color.red
} else {
f.checkThisBox(2, false);
f.readonly = false;
f.fillColor = color.transparent
}
So basically I was looking for if there's something that should be called like this:
f[2].fillColor = color.red;
f.fillColor(2) = color.red;
In the form that I am working on I can't have all those other widgets turn red, just the checkbox that gets checked from the condition that is met when the user selcts certain listed items from the pulldown menu.
What am I missing?
Where can I find the appropriate documentation to achieve this?
