Checkbox without values access checked property in Notes

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have a web application. One form has multiple checkboxes (one for each row in a table).I don’t want to label the checkboxes as it will expand the column width, I was just going to explain the purpose of the checkboxes in the column heading.

If this checkbox is checked, I want that row to hide in read mode.

What formula do I use to find out if the checkbox is checked. As this will be needed in the hide when formula?

Thanks

Hi there,

I think you’ll need to fudge it slightly, by using keyword synonyms.

In the checkbox properties, make sure the “Allow Keyword Synonyms” box is ticked. This means you can make the value returned different to the one displayed by using the bar symbol. For example if I made the choices

Up|1

Down|2

Up would return “1”, and down would return “2”. However, you still don’t want to display anything on the web, so you need to make the value before the bar some pass-thru html which won’t be displayed by the web browser. You can make the values pass-thru html by surrounding them in square brackets. e.g.

#
#|1

(replace the # for square brackets)

This shouldn’t display anything on the web, but if the tickbox is ticked you should have a value of 1 in it.

Hope this helps,

Craig.

That is brilliant, why didn’t I think of that?

Thanks a lot
