Hi

I have added a couple of fields to a TGroup box which is on a form in SalesLogix version 7.2.

I have made the fields read only depending on what the account status which seems to work as it should.

However I have an issue where if you access an account where the fields are read only and then move to the next account where the fields should be editable, the read only attribute is transfereed to the next account. To resolve this issue I do a ctrl F5 and refresh the screen and then it becomes editable as it should.

Is there a way of automatically refreshing the fields or TGroup when moving from account to account?

I would like to if possible refresh the fields rather than perform a full screen refresh which takes a short while tom perform.

Any help with the code syntax would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

Open up the form\plugin desired (System:Account Detail)

Name each of your controls (F4 to see the Properties, click on each control in turn, change the .Name property to txtMyFieldName....)

There should already be an AXFormChange SCRIPT event handler for the form you are looking at, if not add the event handler (click on the form, click on the Property's window EVENTS tab, double click on the OnChange event)

Whatever the name of the status contol is (pklAccountStatus for example) will control the script.

Maybe it's

MyTextField1.ReadOnly = True

MyTextField1.ReadOnly = True

SELECT CASE pklStatus.Text

     CASE "Active"

          MyTextField1.ReadOnly = True

          MyTextField1.ReadOnly = True

CASE "Inactive"

CASE ELSE

END SELECT

or maybe it's

If pklAccountStatus.Text = "Active" Then

     MyTextField1.ReadOnly = True

     MyTextField1.ReadOnly = True

Else

End If

You should buy the DevLogix book.....or examine examples up here....vbScript is the programming language. Microsoft has tutoring stuff online....
