rc3 combobox readonly

Classic Servoy

Introduced in rc3 setting the readonly property of a combobox makes the box look like an editable combo instead of a non editable one (mac os x).

also: setting the readOnly property to true or false doesn’t matter. It’s true in both cases!

The difference in this case is that when I set the readOnly property to false the checkbox shows as non-editable if it was non-editable other than the above post…

combox looks like editable:
Yes this is the case. This is the way it will work. Or else the combobox would gray out (that you can also do that is enabled flag) But people don’t want that. They want a readonly property but then as little as possible grayed out things (hard to read) So a non editbale combobox will transform in a editable combobox and set the editor in non editable and then the complete combo in non enabled..

the second post i don’t get. Are you still talking about combo’s?? (you are saying checkbox)

Sorry in both cases I talk about the combo…

This really is strange:

  • I have set rc3 aside because of the above reason but tried it again today. It looks like controller.readOnly doesn what it is expected to doe with fields. On some forms I have a combobox that looks like disabled and on another form like non-editable. I also can’t change this property via scripting anymore both on windows and os x…

Also:

I have 8 combo’s on one form and 8 fields like

I check them upon content and make them yes/no readOnly. I do this with a loop from 8 down to 2. Combo and field one are always editable offcourse.

Performing this operations with rc2 gives me the proper settings and behaviour. While evaluating with only field one filled the loop makes the fields 8 - 3 readOnly = true and 2 readOnly = false…

With rc3 field and combo’s 8-3 are readOnly = true nice and easy with the new ‘disabled editable look’ for the combo’s (still don’t like this but ok). But field 2 is disabled and combo 2 too without the editable look
:? .

It really is a straight forward loop that works with rc2.

These 2 (including the other one) make rc3 no option to me yet since I use readOnly a lot…

i can’t reproduce this. It is always doing exactly what it should do no matter if i use:

elements.combo.readOnly = !elements.combo.readOnly;

or

controller.readOnly = !controller.readOnly;

can you send me an example?
