Ajay,
In your Advanced R:BASE Training folder/directory, along with RRBYW4 through RRBYW9, you'll also find three additional directories named Goodies, Plugins and Property.
The Property directory includes a database PropDB, along all samples, including one similar to your need.
(If you don't have that sample handy, send me a private e-mail and I'll send you everything you need.)
Run the following commands to understand the use of PROPERTY command:
. ChangingProperties.RMD . ClosingToolButtons.RMD . CustomFormActions.RMD . CustSearchByST.RMD . CustSearchByST_Tot.RMD . GetProperty.RMD . GetStartAndEndDates.RMD . GrayOutPushButton.RMD . MenuBar.RMD . MeterForm01.RMD . MeterForm02.RMD . MeterForm03.RMD . MeterForm04.RMD . PagingForm.RMD . PagingFormAndSlave.RMD . Property.RMD . Property01.RMD . ShowHideRadioGroups . TABPageControl.RMD . TABPageControl2.RMD . TreeViewMenu.RMD
After going through all command files and associated Forms and EEPs, you should be able to understand the use of PROPERTY command.
In your specific form with three DB Radio Groups, first you have to make sure that each Radio Group has a unique Component ID assigned.
Then what you want to do is to create "On Click EEP" to include all PROPERTY commands to manage all other DB Radio Groups, including VISIBLE 'FALSE' or VISIBLE 'TRUE', etc.
The following properties are supported for DB Radio Group:
. ALIGN . ALIGNMENT . BEVELWIDTH . BORDERCOLOR . BORDERWIDTH . CAPTION . COLOR . COLUMNS . ENABLED . HEIGHT . HINT . LEFT . READONLY . SET_FOCUS (update 77 or higher) . SHOWHINT . TABORDER . TABSTOP . TOP . VERTICALSPACING . VISIBLE . WIDTH
Hope that helps!
If you need further help, feel free to ask.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
