How to focus only on a boolean field

FlowerBizFlowerBiz Member Posts: 34
I have a tabular form with several boolean columns that display as checkmarks. The fields are editable and need to remain editable. The user would like to filter on one (or more) of these boolean columns. When the user clicks on any cell within the column in order to set a filter, the click action reverses the boolean value of the cell.

My question is: How is this behavior modified so that the user is allowed to click on a boolean cell and not change the value? That is to say, I want the first click of the cell to bring focus to it and subsequent clicks to allow for editing. I'm positive that I have seen this behavior elsewhere but I can't find it now and it's not an obvious setting (to me) in the field properties.

And one other (related) question: How can I choose the display format of a boolean field? By default it is a checkmark but I have also seen it as a drop down Yes/No choice, even though it was not an option field. This is not obvious in the properties either.

Thanks!

    In the list form properties look for: InLineEditing

    Look at form 25 for an example.

    Note that its the properties of the TableBox you need to be looking at.
