Uniface User Forum

#uniface-10

I am trying to dim and resurrect a field in a DSP in response to user actions. 
I was trying $fieldproperties(field)="html:disabled"  (which I thought is what the help pointed to) without success. 
I can dim the field with $fieldsyntax(field)="DIM" which successfully sets the disabled attribute. 
However, neither $fieldsyntax(field)="" nor $fieldsyntaxt(field)="YED,YPR" nor $fieldproperties(field)="!html:disabled" seem to do the trick for allowing entry again. 
What is the trick to remove the disabled attribute? (preferably from proc code but I suppose I can incorporate a weboperation if necessary. 
Regards, 
Iain

Which triggers are you using ?

fieldsyntax is an occurrence level property.
Use Deserialize triggers to apply changes or secure dynamic changes done before in the Serialize triggers

I have this example:
In the preSerialize trigger (Pre Save Occurrence in Uniface 9.7)
if ($dbocc(EDATA) )
fieldsyntax FLD1.EDATA,"NED"
else
fieldsyntax FLD1.EDATA,"YED"
endif
and in the postDeserialize (Post Load Occurrence in Uniface 9.7)
if ($occcrc(EDATA) != "")
fieldsyntax FLD1.EDATA,"NED"
else
fieldsyntax FLD1.EDATA,"YED"
endif
Now existing occurrences can't be changed and new occurrences can be changed.

This is on the onchange trigger of a check box. Tick the checkbox and it fills in a field with a hard coded value and dims it, untick the checkbox and the field is open for manual input. 
There is only one occurrence. and the "DIM" works fine.

Hello Iain

The script below works fine

if (checkbox.widgets)
 datepicker = $date +14d
  putitem/id $fieldproperties(DATEPICKER) , "html:disabled" , "true"
else
;  $fieldproperties(DATEPICKER.WIDGETS) = "!html:disabled"
  putitem/id $fieldproperties(DATEPICKER) , "html:disabled" , "false"
endif​

Hmm, since I was writing generic code in a global proc to dim/hide/display fields, I had a bit of a mistake in that I was doing 

putitem/id $fieldproperties(v_fieldname) , "html:disabled","false"
$fieldproperties(v_fieldname)="!style:display"​

in order to counter previous settings of either 

$fieldproperties(v_fieldname)="style:display=none"

or

putitem/id $fieldproperties(v_fieldname>=), "html:disabled","true"

Is there a putitem version for the style: setting or do I just have to watch the order I do them in?
