New topic in General: Enabling certain Properties of EDITFIELDS does not work?
IMIXMMM - Sat Mar 29, 2008 12:07 am <http://forums.realsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?t=21504> Hi , I am having trouble setting certain properties of some edit fields. ( i am using RB2007-R2 on a mac 10.4.1) The following editfields belong to a groupbox of which I set the ENABLED property to true or false as needed. When an editfield ( or any object ) is set to disabled, it becomes greyed out. This is fine for some things ( like buttons etc) but I want it to work differently. ( as follows) ----------------------------- I have a listbox ( within a tabpanel ) which the user can scroll through and when a record is highlighted in the listbox the editfields displayed below the listbox will have the data displayed in them fro each record. If I use enable = false ( for the editfields) the contents are greyed out ( including a picture object i have as well) I want the contents to appear normal, that is, not greyed out, BUT ALSO - NOT EDITABLE ( i.e read only) until the user clicks on an edit button to allow modification to the editfields. This will also show the border for the editfields which allow data entry. What I have discovered is the following kinds of properties DO NOT CHANGE the appearance of the editfields. Setting any of these properties to true or false MAKES NO DIFFERENCE! I have also tried setting the properties in the properties pane to both true and false and it does not work. Is this a bug?
