How to disable one radiofield when the other radiofield is selected?

swathiba24

For example: When we have two radiofields ("Yes", "No")using hiCreateRadiofield() , When "Yes", "No" Radiofield should be disabled

RadioField=hiCreateRadioField(
?name 'netlists
?prompt ""
?choices list("Yes" "No")
?value "Cell View"
?enabled t
)

  • You can toggle a field editability/visibility by using the value of one field to determine the condition in the other, by specifying it as a string expression. Assuming you add your fields to some form assigned to variable formVar it should look something like this:

    RadioField1=hiCreateRadioField(
    ?name 'addMetal
    ?prompt "Add Metal"
    ?choices list("Yes" "No")
    ?value "Yes"
    )

    RadioField2=hiCreateRadioField(
    ?name 'metalLayer
    ?prompt "Metal layer"
    ?choices list("M1" "M2" "M3" "M4" "M5")
    ?value "M1"
    ?enabled "formVar~>RadioField1~>value == \"Yes\""
    ?editable "formVar~>RadioField1~>value == \"Yes\""
    )

    Sadly Petar's proposed approach won't work - there are two issues:

    1. There's no ?editable argument for radio fields
    2. ?enabled doesn't take a string (callback) expression - the value has to be t or nil (it's not like CDF, where the editable and display fields are callbacks).

    In the original post too, the value for the radio field wasn't one of the choices which wasn't correct.

    Anyway, this can be solved by a callback on the first radio field:

    RadioField1=hiCreateRadioField(
?name 'addMetal
?prompt "Add Metal"
?choices list("Yes" "No")
?value "Yes"
?callback list("MyForm->metalLayer->enabled=MyForm->addMetal->value==\"Yes\"")
)

RadioField2=hiCreateRadioField(
?name 'metalLayer
?prompt "Metal layer"
?choices list("M1" "M2" "M3" "M4" "M5")
?value "M1"
;?enabled "formVar~>RadioField1~>value == \"Yes\""
;?editable "formVar~>RadioField1~>value == \"Yes\""
)

hiCreateLayoutForm(
  'MyForm
  "My Form"
  hiCreateFormLayout(
    'layout
    ?items list(RadioField1 RadioField2)
  )
)

hiDisplayForm(MyForm)

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for your feedback. 
    Is there a possibility to disable only selected radiofields ? 
    In the above example:
    When "Yes" is selected, we would like to disable "M1", "M3"
    When "No" is selected, we would like to disable "M2","M4","M5"
