Hello all, I have this scenario, in a from I have a checkbox.When the user clicks on that checkbox I go through some methods and bussiness logic and based on that,I should allow or deny user from altering that checkbox.How can I achieve that?

tried the following with no luck:No mater what i do , I can not alter the state of the checkbox.

public void clicked()
{

//clicked event of the checkbox

run somemethod(); //returns true or false based on other conditions

if(somemethod() == true)

{

this.value(true);

}

else

{

this.value(false);

}

Instead of 'clicked' method, put your code in 'validate' method. If the validate return false, the value of the check-box will not change. Additionally you can give warning message like 'you are not allowed' etc. If the method returns true, then the value will be changed.

Cheers,is there a way to set the value of the checkbox based on that method? If the method returns true , I want the value to be true no matter what the user choses.

Then try using 'checked' method instead of 'clicked' method.

I think this will work for your requirement:

public void clicked()

{

//super(); // you have to comment the super call so the value is only set by your logic

if (your_boolean_condition)

{

this.value(true);

}

else

{

this.value(false);

}

}
