How to switch off and on the String fields option using radio button

You'd call a callback function from the radio button fields which then calls hiSetFieldEnabled with the string fields to enable them or not.

Hello Andrew,

Thanks for quick reply. 
Although am still getting error and warning ...

net= hiCreateStringField(
?name 'net
?prompt "Enter Netlist Path"
?value ""
)

button_net_data = hiCreateButton(
?name 'button_net_data
?buttonText "Browse"
?callback "ddsFileBrowseCB(hiGetCurrentForm() 'net \"\" 'fileOnly)"
)

libNameField = hiCreateStringField(
?name 'libName
?prompt "library_name"
?value ""
)

browseSourceButton = hiCreateButton(
?name 'browseSource
?callback "dmbSyncWithForm(AppForm 'browse 'libName 'CycField)"
?buttonText "Browse"
)

netlists=hiCreateRadioField(
?name 'netlists
?prompt ""
?choices list("Netlist Path" "Cell View")
?value "Cell View"
?enabled t
?callback list("(hiSetFieldEnabled() 'netlists 'net '(t nil ) ;;)"
)
)

Your callback was completely wrong. I've no idea how you ever thought that would work as it seems a fairly random set of words you've put in the string, rather than actually being code (hiSetFieldEnabled is a function that needs two arguments, and you've provided no arguments). Perhaps you should follow the SKILL Language Programming course on http://support.cadence.com ?

I updated the code (I added a very simple form at the end just to prove it works), so you wouldn't need that bit. I call the callback after the form is created just to set the initial enabled/disabled settings appropriately:

net= hiCreateStringField(
  ?name 'net 
  ?prompt "Enter Netlist Path"
  ?value "" 
)

button_net_data = hiCreateButton(
  ?name 'button_net_data 
  ?buttonText "Browse" 
  ?callback "ddsFileBrowseCB(hiGetCurrentForm() 'net \"\" 'fileOnly)"
)

libNameField = hiCreateStringField(
  ?name 'libName
  ?prompt "library_name"
  ?value ""
)

browseSourceButton = hiCreateButton(
  ?name 'browseSource
  ?callback "dmbSyncWithForm(AppForm 'browse 'libName 'CycField)"
  ?buttonText "Browse"
)

netlists=hiCreateRadioField(
  ?name 'netlists
  ?prompt ""
  ?choices list("Netlist Path" "Cell View")
  ?value "Cell View"
  ?enabled t
  ; no idea how this was supposed to work - it's a random set of values!
  ;?callback list("(hiSetFieldEnabled() 'netlists 'net '(t nil ) ;;)"
  ?callback list("MyEnableFields(hiGetCurrentForm())")
)

procedure(MyEnableFields(form)
  let((netEnabled)
    case(form->netlists->value
      ("Cell View"
        netEnabled=nil
      )
      ("Netlist Path"
        netEnabled=t
      )
    )
    hiSetFieldEnabled(form->net netEnabled)
    hiSetFieldEnabled(form->button_net_data netEnabled)
    hiSetFieldEnabled(form->libName !netEnabled)
    hiSetFieldEnabled(form->browseSource !netEnabled)
  )
)

hiCreateAppForm(?name 'forum86 ?fields list(net button_net_data libNameField browseSourceButton netlists))
MyEnableFields(forum86)
hiDisplayForm(forum86)
