strange behaviour of radios with custom value list

Classic Servoy
1

I have a form with three fields, each displaying as a radio, and each linked to a separate custom value list. They work fine when the value lists are simple (ie. display and store the same value), but when I try to display a different value to the one stored (eg. “animal | a”), they behave strangely.

Firstly, you can turn the buttons on or off: the first time you click on a value it is checked, click again and the check disappears so nothing is selected - but you can only do this on some of the values, some of the time.

Secondly, I have written a method to clear each field ( eg. controller.setDataProviderValue(‘field1’, null); ), and attached each version to a button next to the relevant field. With simple value lists attached to the radio fields the buttons behave as expected and clear the field they are associated with. With the different value value lists, the buttons randomly clear the other fields as well as the one they are associated with.

I am using Servoy Developer Version R2 2.0.1-build 274,
Java version 1.4.2_04-b05 (Windows XP).

Any ideas?

In Servoy 2.02 it is only possible to deselect a radio if the value list used allows empty value.

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your response. I now have Servoy 2.02 and with empty values allowed in the value lists the select/deselect works fine, so my method is no longer needed.

I have discovered that the problem with the pipes in the value lists is that there should be no space left between them, ie. “animal|a” instead of “animal | a”. After I changed this everything works perfectly!
