Title: Read Only If Condition
Post by: charl99 on November 13, 2012, 04:05:25 AM

Hi Bruce,

I noticed it before, but forgot about it.  There appears to a bug in the above in the Read Only IF: Condition

inlist(p_web.gsv('OQ:OptionType')=1,4,8) only work for the first item, ie 1.

whereas

p_web.gsv('OQ:OptionType')=1 or p_web.gsv('OQ:OptionType')=4 or p_web.gsv('OQ:OptionType')=8

works.

Thanks
Charl

PS. I did not bother to make an example as this is straightforward.

Hi Charl,

I think your syntax is wrong. Try

inlist(p_web.gsv('OQ:OptionType'),1,4,8)

Nope, that was a typo.  It definitely acts as I described. I checked again :)

Thanks

then I guess you'll need to make an example (tweak one of the shipping ones).
'cause when I tried here it seemed to work ok - so I'm missing some part of the equation.

cheers

Yes, I think I forgot to add it happens on a _Button_.

Sorry for that.

I added a YesNo field to the web1 example Mailboxes file, and added it as a button to the form with Read Only If condition:

inlist(p_web.gsv('MAI:SizeLimit'),1,4,8)

You'll notice when size limit is 1 it is Read Only, when Size limit is 4 or 8 it is not.

Cheers

this is one of those cases when
"What goes without saying"
goes better with saying.

ie be more explicit in your test.

inlist(p_web.gsv('MAI:SizeLimit'),1,4,8) > 0

is better than just

inlist(p_web.gsv('MAI:SizeLimit'),1,4,8)

Because ultimately this condition is placed in a CHOOSE statement, and Choose has 2 forms, and because InList returns a number it uses the wrong form.
