Filemaker and Servoy equivalents: check boxes

Classic Servoy
1

Hi:

I am Filemaker developer trying to convert to Servoy developer. Here is my question:
I have a value list which holds the following values:
Review
In-Process
QC
Others.

What is the equivalent FM “Others” option (check boxes format fields) in Servoy?

Thanks in advance,

Mary

Hi Mary,

Perhaps I’m confused by your question - if you have a valuelist with:

Review
In-Process
QC
Others

Then if you check “Others” what do you want to happen?

Hi Mary, welcome in the transition time from Filemaker to Servoy! :wink:
Perhaps this is a post to get some answers;

Succes!

Hi Bob & Freecolours:

Thanks for replying my email. Freecolours, thanks for the tip… It is very useful.

Then if you check “Others” what do you want to happen?

In Fm, the check boxes option opens a dialog box when the option “Others” is selected. Does Servoy have the same feature? Or Should I create a field to generate the same effect?

Thanks,

Mary

Servoy doesn’t have an ‘Others’ option, but you have other options to work with:

  • Create custom valuelist with Review, In-Process, QC, Others
    By selecting ‘Others’ in the checklist, you can perform an onDataChange method, to do whatever you like to do. (Show hidden field or add value to valuelist or something…)

  • Show a valuelist from a relation
    Use a (global) relation to show valuelist data. When selecting ‘Other’ perform an onDataChange method, create a new record for the valuelist.

Hope this helps and perhaps you have some more -bright- ideas! :wink:

Thanks Karel for your orientation… I will apply what you suggested.

Thanks again,
