Hi Friends,

I have a bound checkbox in grid, I can overwrite 'click' or 'modified' method for it, but, none would fired when I clicked on checkbox.

Is this typical behavior since it's in grid? what alternative I can do if I need to do something when it's clicked.

Thanks,

Hi Ganriver,

I am not sure what you would like to happen after you clicked on your checkbox but it should not be a problem to add a click-method on your field and add some logic. Can you please explain what you want to happen when you click on your checkbox?

Hi Dan,

I want to do some logic checking on the line record. But, it doesn't go there. It did fire up in datasource 'modified' method, but, not 'click' method on checkbox.

Hi Ganriver,

You should not use clicked method on grid at all because users can add same field to grid again using personalization and it won't have you "click" method.

Modified() method of form data source field is a right place to put your code.

I agree with Ievgen, I missed that your checkbox was a field connected to a real datasource.

If you want to validate something I think you should use the validatefield method directly on the table.

Otherwise it should work to use the modified method.

If values is changed you also might want to do a datasource refresh after the super() method.

Good luck

Checkbox has just two values. If you know the value after change, figuring out the value before the change shouldn't be difficult. :)

Maybe you should explain what you're trying to achieve.

Hi Martin,

I used datasource.field to reference the previous value in modified method, which is ok. But when I unchecked box, it's still old value of 'unchecked'.

If I press 'F5' to refresh after check one, then other checkbox checked while this one got unchecked. It seems confused about active record.

That's why I am asking the question.

Thanks,

Please first tell us what you're trying to achieve from functional perspective; then we'll be able to tell you how to implement it. Your current code doesn't look as a good starting point.

if checkbox is unchecked, when I click on it, I want to do some logic check, remind/warn user what's needs to be done.

When I uncheck it, nothing needs to happen.

Thanks
