Locking textboxes in a normal form

ramsay18477

Hi !

I was writing some code for locking textboxes on 2 types of forms - a tab form and a non-tab form. Basically, I was making 'editable ' property false.

But, the textboxes get grayed out on the tab form but the same textboxes with the same code dont get grayed on the non-tab form.

Can someone pls explain me the reason for tbis and also provide a solution ?

Are you sure you have used "Editable" and not "Enabled"? If you use "Enabled", you have this problem.

Hey Kriki, thanks again!

Iam positively using "Editable".

Because as I also said earlier, my code is the same on both the forms and if Iam using "Enabled", the textboxes won't get grayed out on the tab form too, right ?

Thanks again.

:oops: Just found out I mixed up 2 things:
-Greying out happens for non-editable textboxes.
-And also the text becomes grey in case of a non-enabled textboxes.

Well, they should grey out!

And they grey out when changing application and turning back to Navision.

I think you find a bug in Navision. I leave you the honour to report it to MS!

I also found a solution:
Immediately after putting Editable to false, put also this:

CurrForm.VISIBLE(FALSE);
CurrForm.VISIBLE(TRUE);
CurrForm.ACTIVATE;

hey kriki,

Thanx a lot again !!!

Is it actually a bug ? If so, can you pls. tell me the procedure of reporting it to MS ?

I'll probably report it after I clear my MB7-221 exam otherwise MS might fail me...

I think it it a bug. To help you I checked a way to report a bug (without opening a incident at MS. So I googled (maybe I should have used LiveSearch!) and found this one : http://www.oreillynet.com/mac/blog/2002/06/mission_impossible_submitting.html :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
I know they follow the forum, so I hope they just read this topic. [-o<
