Hi ,
Could you please tell me how to disable checkbox/radio button? Based user privilege I have to enable/disable few radio button/checkbox.
Cheers,
Siva
Hi Siva,
At this time, you can turn the widget switch (radio/checkbox) on or off using the :setState() function:
http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/type/SwitchWidget/setState.html
However, this will not “disable” the button when it’s turned off… so you should handle that manually, for example, by setting a variable flag on the switch:
[lua]
myRadioButton.disabled = true
[/lua]
Then, if it’s “disabled”, then when the user taps it, override its turning on in the “onPress” listener, for example:
[lua]
local function onSwitchPress( event )
local switch = event.target
if ( switch.disabled == true and switch.isOn == true ) then
switch:setState( { isOn=false, isAnimated=false } )
end
end
[/lua]
Take care,
Brent
Hi Brent,
Thanks for your response.
This works perfectly for checkbox & on/Off , but not for radio.

Hi Siva,
Can you please post some code that you’re using? This should work for all switches, but I’ll need to see your code.
Thanks,
Brent

Hi Silva, this work for radio
[lua]
local radio1
local radio2
local function onSwitchPress( event )
local switch = event.target
if ( switch.id == “radio1” and switch.isOn == true ) then
switch:setState( { isOn=false, isAnimated=false } )
radio2:setState( { isOn=true, isAnimated=false } )
end
end
radio1 = widget.newSwitch
{
left = …,
top = …,
style = “radio”,
id = “radio1”,
initialSwitchState = false,
onPress = onSwitchPress
}
radio2 = widget.newSwitch
{
left = …,
top = …,
style = “radio”,
id = “radio2”,
initialSwitchState = true,
onPress = onSwitchPress
}
[/lua]
