Posted on by Community Member

Hi guys,

If lets say I have a new table, fields like : Name, Description, AllowEdit.

then I create a form for it.

I want when user change "AllowEdit" to Yes, then field description is editable, else is not. What should I do ?

I know we need to create a new class, and a copy paste from the new form -> Datasource -> table -> Fields -> AllowEdit -> Events -> OnModified then right click "Copy event handler method" to the new class. But shat should I wrote inside.

Kindly advice.

Thanks

Hi WWong,

I don't know if your field "allowedit" will cause ambiguity. I haven't done that because there is a property named this. I think you better modify its name.

Your Allowedit field should be a enum field.

if (Table.allowedit==NoYes::Yes) Table_ds.object(fieldNum(Table,Description)).allowEdit(true); else Table_ds.object(fieldNum(Table,Description)).allowEdit(false);;

Write same code to the datasource's active method.

O yah, it is just an example actually.

Anyway, so I do not need to create an Event Handler Class for that ?

FYI, currently I create a new class, with the step I described earlier.

After paste the code in the newly created class (it is just replace the whole thing, right ?)

but it return an error :

"The model element was saved with unparsable source code and cannot be used. Please edit the element in Visual Studio to fix the errors."

and saying error in the word "void"

Thanks.

Hi WWong,

Unparsable code means most probably you are missing a closing bracket somewhere in your code.

Yes,

It turned out because I replaced "all" the code, including the class name, whereby I supposed to paste only inside of the code area.

Thanks Sukrut and Wang.
