A check box allows the user to
select or clear a field value. Check boxes are useful where only
two values are applicable, such as Yes/No or Male/Female.
You can create a check
box:
|
·
|
In the Definer, by using the Check Box display type for a
domain. |
|
·
|
In the Windows Designer, by inserting a check box control class
into a window or dialog. |
If you create the control
using the Check Box display type, allowed values must be defined at
domain level. In this case, the check box appears automatically
after synchronization.
If you create the control in
the Windows Designer, the values on the list can either be
hard-coded, or retrieved from the database by means of a SQL
statement or Related Column.
To insert a check box using
the Windows Designer:
| 1.
|
Use the Windows Designer catalog to open the appropriate
window/dialog. |
| 2.
|
In the design view, select the object into which you want to
insert the check box. |
| 3.
|
From the menu bar, choose Insert, Check Box, or drag one of
your own check box control classes from the Controls tab page of
the Windows Designer catalog. |
| 4.
|
Make sure the Selection Filter option from the View menu is
turned on, select the check box object, and then open the Property
Inspector. |
| 5.
|
Change the Prompt and Default Value properties on the General
tab page of the Property Inspector to suit your needs. |
| 6.
|
Depending on whether you want to hard code the values on the
check box or retrieve them from the database, set the Value List
property, or the Values to Query property. You can also use a
Related Column. |
If you use the Value List
property, separate the values by means of "returns" (either use
SHIFT+ENTER, or CTRL+ENTER). If the actual values are not the same
as the prompts you want to use, set the Value List Prompts property
(again use returns to separate the values).
