oFrm.elements['myCheckBox'].editable = false shows the following error:
Java class "com.servoy.j2db.ui.scripting.RuntimeCheckbox" has no public instance field or method named "editable"....

It works fine for all fieldtyp like :
JSField.TEXT_FIELD
JSField.CALENDAR
JSField.RTF_AREA
JSField.COMBOBOX

but NOT for the fieldtyp :
JSField.CHECKS

Is this a Bug ?

you can't set editable on a check, you only can set that on fields that have free text input (like textfields)
A checkbox or checks (in a list) is never editable, you can enable/disable it but not say it is not editable because it is not editable in the first place at all.

In the Formeditor the property editable exists for the checkbox (printscreen), thats why I tried editable. The disabled checkbox looks different to enabled checkbox.

Thank you

Don't know if this related to this issue, but we have a checkbox in a list view that worked fine in build 1410. Now in build 1411, the checkbox becomes unchecked once the field loses focus. I have created a case. The case number is SVY-2139. To clarify, this is happening in Servoy Version: 6.1.0 b2 - build 1411

that property just sets also the enabled property (because checkbox component in swing doesn't have a editable property)
So it is the same thing.

You can create a case so that we can make this in sync, but your looks of the checkbox will not be any different if you do checkbox.enabled = false or checkbox.editable = false
