martinihenry Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I have a field, which is formatted as a Checkbox Set. Simple enough, right? Well, I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the border that appears around the field when I put a check into the checkbox (from the Browse Mode). Any thoughts? I'm pretty sure it's not a Field/Control>Borders issue, I've played around in there, and it still appears. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.
LaRetta Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 This would be controlled by pen pattern, accessed usually by right-clicking the field. If you select the top left pen pattern box, the box itself will disappear. This is the transparent setting for pen. :wink2:
martinihenry Posted March 4, 2006 Author Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) Thanks LaRetta. I should have been clearer. When I put a check into the checkbox, a box appears around the entire field. When I tried your suggestion, that made the checkbox itself disappear. I'm looking to prevent that box from appearing around the field when I put a check in the box. I've attached a picture of what I mean.... Thanks, Jason Edited March 4, 2006 by Guest
LaRetta Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Are you talking about the box that appears when you enter the field? Or does the box remain even if the cursor is in another field? If it's only when the field is entered, there is nothing you can do. If the box stays after the field has been left, it is indeed the border properties which handle it. You would select the field, then field Control and Borders. Unclick Top, Bottom, Left and Right.
LaRetta Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 If you have a simple yes checkbox, something you can do is take control of the field by attaching a script. This will pop the cursor out of the field once clicked. If you dislike it displaying the box after clicked (focus still remaining in the field), let me know and I can explain it.
LaRetta Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I have lots of energy tonight ... just in case you wish to try it ... Resize that checkbox so just the box itself shows. Use a text label outside the box for the word Yes. This will prevent the field (other than the checkbox itself) highlighting when clicked. Then attach this script to the checkbox: If [ checkboxfield = “Yes” ] Set Field [ checkboxfield ; “” ] Else Set Field [ checkboxfield ; “Yes” ] End If Commit Records/Requests [skip data entry, no dialog ] LaRetta
