INPUT: can not get checkboxes to work - emax - 11-06-2020 07:17 PM
I have tried a form on the Prime. It works except for the two checkboxes at the very end. I want them to be "either/or" checkboxes, i.e.: only one shall be selectable.
If I understod the docs right, such checkboxes shall be enumerated - which I tried. But no success, I can check them both.
I tried two different versions:
- The two checkboxes were enumerated '1' and 2'.
- The boxes where equally numbered as in the version below, '1' and '1' (i.e.: not zero).
Neither worked.
Where is my mistake?
Code:
EXPORT formt()
BEGIN
local wdayList := { " Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun" };
local wday := 1;
local pers := 2;
local leader := "George";
local hours := 4;
local cater := 1;
local Tea := 0;
local Coffee := 1;
input( { {wday,wdayList, {40,60,0}},
{pers,[1], {40,20,1}},
{leader,[2], {40,60,2}},
{hours,[0], {40,60,3}},
{cater,0, {40,10,4}},
{Tea,1, {40,10,5}},
{Coffee,1, {40,10,6}} },
{ "Conference Booking" },
{ "Day", "Persons", "Team leader", "Hours", "Catering", "Tea", "Coffee" },
{ "Enter day of the week",
"Enter number of persons",
"Enter team leader name",
"Enter duration in hours",
"Shall catering be booked?",
"Do you want tea?",
"Do you want coffee?" },
{ 1,2,"George",4,1,0,1 },
{}
)

I have now tried with an enumeration of '2' for both and then with '3' for both as well. Both values seem to work. If I use '1', it doesn't.
I don't understand the logic behind this.

In the manual, p. 653:
"{var_name, real, [{pos}]} to create a check box control. If real is >1, this check box gets pooled with the next n -1 check boxes in a radio group (that is, only one of the n check boxes can be checked at any time)"

Ahh, had missed this one. Seems logic now.
Thank you so much!
