I am unable to edit the labels for a set of checkboxes in my Excel file. The checkboxes were created using Form Controls (not ActiveX). I have been working with this file for many years and now suddenly cannot make any changes. I have tried editing them by clicking on Edit Text or by double clicking on the label itself. In both cases, the cursor does not activate. I also noticed that the font size of the text is smaller than in prior versions of the document, but the font size was never purposely changed.
On a separate note, the file also contains option buttons that do not always work. The button does not fill in when clicked on or there may be a delay. This is a new problem, too. I am not asking for help on this issue in this post but am providing it informationally in case it helps in determining what may be happening with the checkboxes. I appreciate any help.

I am making a macro to add a new block of columns for every day in a google sheet. One column is populated with checkboxes which will be clicked by a user to mark the task as complete.
However, I have encountered serious difficulty when trying to copy and paste a new column containing unchecked checkboxes. The checkboxes do not appear at all and are somehow not recorded in the macro.
I also couldn't find a way to conditionally uncheck or check all the checkboxes in a column at once e.g. by the formula =TRUE(A2:A50) to check them and =FALSE(A2:A50) to uncheck them as it is giving an error.
Am I missing something or have I found a flaw in Google Sheets' checkbox system?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
in my app, when editing a record, I've added an ActionListener to save a temporary copy of the edited values for each field automatically, so that if the app is put in the background and then stopped, the edited values can be recovered when the app is started up again.
However, with the TextAreas it doesn't work since actionListeners don't get called unless the user takes some action (like leaving the field). I need to use the TextArea since there can be multiple lines of text, so using a DataChangedListener for a TextField as suggested in this thread does not seem a viable solution. And being able to save the TextAreas is important to achieve good UX since the user likely loses more work when text is dropped than if for example a value set in a Picker is lost.
Is there another way to achieve this result?
Thanks in advance
TextField allows multiple lines using setSingleLineTextArea(false). When invoked it will function similarly to TextArea.
I am new to Windows Form application and trying to build a small application.
I had dragged and dropped a label on the main form.
Then I deleted its text property to empty string basically hiding the label.
Now I would like to move this label to some other location on the form but unable to do so because I cannot find it.
I checked the designer file and its there.
But I cannot find it in the form so that I can grab it and move to a different location.
Please help.
Thanks
Use Document Outline. Look at the following images.
That happens to me several times, and a few weeks ago I found a way to get the empty label like this:
On the tab "Properties" just click on the arrow to show all controls and click on the label you want, this will automatically select the label on your form..
I'd like to expose the settings of my app to the user in a tree view. There should not be a problem to display. The setting and its value can be displayed as a text node.
Now comes the hard part. I'd like the settings to be editable. When I click on a setting, I want it to be editable, with different fields :
Display a checkbox
Display a textfield to change the value
Display a combobox with valid values
Is there a possiblity to achieve something similar, or do I imagine the impossible here ?
I saw an example which checkboxes, but I'm not sure if it is possible to mix fields.
I'm not asking for code, I just liked to know if someone already tried something similar.
That's exactly what Ext.grid.property.Grid does (minus the checkbox). Since a tree is a gridpanel with a special column, you should be able to mix the two. I would start by porting the propertygrid.
I never tried the the combobox-part, but everything else is definitely possible
All the fields are editable with with the celledit plugin
Hope this helps and I understood your question correctly
Another question for you Filemaker Pro experts. The database I am developing starts with a Main layout with a number of buttons (e.g. insert new item, show all items, etc.). Each button is associated to a script, which takes the user to the relevant layout. In each of these layouts I show the buttons in a row, and highlight the current layout with inverse colour.
My problem is that some of the buttons lead to the same layout, viewed in different modes, and I don't know how to conditionally highlight the right button.
For instance, Insert new item and Show all items take to the same layout, however in the first case the script views the layout as a form and inserts a new record, while in the second I view as a list and show all records. The layout is the same, though, so I'd need to enact a conditional formatting based on something. How do I do that, and what should I check against?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards.
Presumably you are currently using the formula: Get (LayoutName) to decide on your conditional formula, why not try additionally using formulas: Get(WindowMode) and Get(LayoutViewState)?
You could conditionally format the button if (which sends user to MyLayout in browse mode):
Get(WindowMode)=0 and Get(LayoutName)="MyLayout"
Or (which sends user to MyLayout in form view):
Get(LayoutViewState)=0 and Get(LayoutName)="MyLayout"
.
Other functions which may help could be Get(FoundCount) and Get(TotalRecordCount). You can see the entire list of Get functions here.
