Hello Servoy users,

I used transparent button over checkboxes in my solution, so the user see the checkbox but when he wants click on it he clicks on a button to which I link a method.

When I test the solution in smart client the checkbox under the button is not visible as the button is nomore transparent ?

Someone else that encounter the same problem ?

Servoy bug ?

Despite of that problem: couldn’t you use onAction or onDataChange to call your method when the user clicks on the checkbox?

When I click on the checkbox not under the transparent button, Servoy changes the value in the checkbox before execute onAction method and in some case I would like not.

You can use onDataChange. Then in your method you do

```auto
var vOldValue = arguments[0] // will give you the value before the change

```

If your method comes to the conclusion that the value should not be changed, you just set it back to vOldValue.

Thanks again for your suggestion.

I have already done it in my method.

But in that case the user see the checkbox changed and changed back after warning message and I don’t want that.

So i will continue to search how to go around.

And Servoy will fix that small bug.

I just tried the same thing in another solution of my repository and it’s running perfectly.

So i suppose something is broken on my test solution ?

Transparent buttons are transparent and it’s more easy to manage.
