Issues to hide a text edit box in a radio box

Hi,

I am trying to use a radio box that should hide/show a text edit box, but it does not work (see code attached).

Basically Choice 1 should show the text edit box, and Choice 2  should hide it.

I see at least 2 abnormal behavior:

1. if I clic several times on Choice 2, the text edit box is hiden, then shown, then hiden, then shown,... Although, it should stay hidden

2. Clicking on CHoice 1 does not always show the text edit box: it depends on the state of the text edit box before clicking...

I guess i am missing something fundamental

MyWindow = New Window( "Test...",
Panel Box( "Info",
  rb = Radio Box(
   {"Choice 1", "Choice 2"},
   <<SET function=""></SET>

Re: Issues to hide a text edit box in a radio box

Not sure why your code wasn't working.  Maybe because you didn't supply an argument to hide?  In any event you can include the code inside MyWindow thusly:

NamesDefaultToHere(1);

MyWindow = 
New Window( "Test...",
 Panel Box( "Info", 
  rb = Radio Box({"Choice 1", "Choice 2"},
   choice = rb << getSelected;
   if (choice == "Choice 1", teb << hide(0),
    choice == "Choice 2", teb << hide(1)
   );
  ),
  teb = text edit box("Some text to edit")
 )
);

Hi Jan,

I m trying to understand...Is my code not working because I try to execute hide and show inside MyWindow ??

Re: Issues to hide a text edit box in a radio box

Here's one way:

NamesDefaultToHere(1);

MyWindow = 
New Window( "Test...",
 Panel Box( "Info", 
  rb = Radio Box({"Choice 1", "Choice 2"}),
  teb = text edit box("Some text to edit")
  )
 );

rb << setScript(
  choice = rb << getSelected;
  if(
   choice == "Choice 1", teb << hide(0),
   choice == "Choice 2", teb << hide(1)
   )
  );
