Hi Guys, This is probably a really stupid question but I've looked all over and can find a solution...

I have a couple of list boxes on my UI and each of them have a checkbox - which should be used to enable / disable the listbox. For some reason they have no effect.

I've tried fiddling with a few variations on the following but haven't had any joy.


on chkbx1 changed state do
(
if state == 1 then
(
LstBox1.enabled = true
LstBox2.enabled = false
)
else
(
LstBox2.enabled = true
)
)
on chkbx2 changed state do
(
if state == 1 then
(
LstBox2.enabled = true
LstBox1.enabled = false
)
else
(
LstBox2.enabled = true
)
)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

State is true or false, not an integer. Thus you are always doing the 'else' code.

ah right, i thought you could use either true/false or 1/0 to define the state of a checkbox! i'll give it a try tomorrow using true/false instead though.

thanks for your help.

Since state is either true or false, you can set the .enabled properties of the listboxes directly using that value. The following code also checks/unchecks the opposite checkbox so they remain in sync:

on chkbx1 changed state do
(
LstBox1.enabled = state
LstBox2.enabled = chkbx2.checked = not state
)

on chkbx2 changed state do
(
LstBox1.enabled = chkbx1.checked = not state
LstBox2.enabled = state
)
