TextArea editability control doesn't work in v3?

Classic Servoy
1

I have a method that triggers a transaction and makes the form readOnly = false.

I noticed that textarea fields don’t seem to receive the instruction and remain not editable.

I also tried to put a copy of those field and leave them formatted as text field: they become editable. So the problem seems to affect textarea fields only.

Is it happening to someone else?

Riccardino,

Have you tried the latest 3.1 version (to be released soon)?

Setting a form readonly does disable text areas as well on my 3.1 system.

Text Areas on form are initially editable. After “locking” using a readOnly called from a method triggered at record selection, and subsequent “unlocking” via another method (ie, readOnly = false) the text areas remain uneditable.

This occurs even when I name the text areas and explicitly set their property to readOnly = false by controller.elementname.readOnly = false.

This is a big issue right now, sometimes closing and re-opening the solution will clear the issue momentarily, other times it will not and seems persistent.

On what Servoy/Java/OS version do you see this?

Servoy 2.2.6 (only in client, not developer)
OS Windows XP Pro SP2
JRE 1.5.02 - 1.5.10 (depending on client)

Server:
RH 9
Servoy 2.2.6 (obviously!)
JRE 1.5.06

Happens on several different client machines, one of which used to be my development machine where I never saw this using developer…only via the client now.

Please try the latest version.

Hi

This is also becoming a real issue for my solution.

I am using controller.readonly = true to stop editing of records, but i cannot seem to make text areas editable again (controller.readOnly = false). This only happens on text areas, if i change the type to a text field its OK, problem goes away. This happens on the main form as well as on tab panels, always on text areas.

Have tried naming the element and using readOnly = false, tried also doing this with the whole form but still not working or working sporadically.

I fire the method to set read only for these fields on Recordselection, creating new records, show all etc. to try and catch every situation.

Anyone have a fix?
