How to Mark Read Only Checkboxes based on RadioButton Selections

I've spent the past hour looking through old discussions and can't find anything about this, so maybe it will help some others in the future as well.
I'm building a Dynamic PDF for people at work to use for troubleshooting. It basically follows the same logic as the flowcharts I've already made, but by asking questions and telling the technicians what to do based on their answers. At the top I have checkboxes that are kind of "top level questions" that I want to be read only and I want them to check off automatically as they make their way through the radio buttons.
My end goal is to incorporate this PDF into our ticketing system and the checkboxes at the top level will show the troubleshooting that has already been completed without the technician having to read through the entire PDF to find out what to do next. If we have to send a technician to the site to repair anything it will also act as an escalation report, so he knows where we were able to get without him being on site.
I was thinking this might work, but apparently I don't understand the coding as well as I thought I did. Hopefully I'm close lol.
if (TestRadio.rawValue==1){
Subform1.Check1.rawValue=1;
else{
Subform1.Check1.rawValue=0;
Any help is greatly appreciated. If anyone has a PDF with an example of this working I'd love to see it. Thanks a lot.
Mike

Actually, I just figured it out. I was missing " " around the values. Maybe this will still help someone else, so I'll leave it up. Thanks all!
if (TestRadio.rawValue==1){
Subform1.Check1.rawValue="1";
else{
Subform1.Check1.rawValue="0";

Enter event not triggering for read-only checkbox

I have some objects in a form that get "locked" when the user signs the form. I'm not using the digital signatures. Instead, when the user types their name into the signature text field, a script runs on the change event that makes all of the fields in the form read only. It also unlocks the fields if the signature is deleted.
I was worried that we would get a lot of phone calls with users that didn't understand that the form had locked ("Why doesn't this form work?!"), so I added some code to the enter event for all of the fields that would pop up a messagebox to explain to people trying to edit a signed form that the form was locked and that they would need to delete the signature to edit the form.
This plan works perfect for my text fields and decimal fields. It does NOT work at all for my checkboxes. For some reason, the enter event is never triggered for read-only checkboxes. I don't see any other events that would obviously work for me though. Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks, those are reasonable suggestions.
In the first suggestion, I'm unclear about one aspect of how I would accomplish this. I assume I would allow people to modify fields in the form, but that when they did, a msgbox would pop up that would inform them that, if they continued with this modification to a signed form, the signature would be removed. I'm all good to that point. But if they answered that they do not want to continue modifying that field and removing the signature, how can I code it to set the value back to what it was before the change? Is there some method that will give me access to the value of the field BEFORE the attempted modification? I went looking for something like $.previousvalue, but found nothing.
I'd suggest that I could use a two-stage solution, in which I store the previous value on the enter event, and save it just in case they do not want to change the field when prompted by the msgbox, but since the enter event does not exist for checkboxes (my original problem), that seems like it won't work.
As far as radio button suggestion, I like radio buttons very much except for one fatal flaw: they aren't (as far as I can tell) clearable. That is a shame. Clearly some people (like me) want both exclusivity AND clearability. And we'd like the controls to have an enter event. But I know I'm demanding Anyway, as it is, I just end up having to use checkboxes and create a boatload of silly code to make them exclusive.

ITunes Keeps Freezing, Music Folders Keep Being Marked Read-Only??? HELP!!

Recently I have been completely unable to access my iTunes for more than 15 seconds before it freezes up and I have to end the program. When I checked the properties for my My Music folder and my iTunes Music folder (and all the folders within these folders), I noticed that the Read-Only box is marked - not checked, but filled with another, smaller box.
When I uncheck the read-only box on all the folders and go back up to the My Music folder, I check the properties and notice that it is STILL marked as Read-Only. This is driving me completely insane, as I can do NOTHING with my iTunes without it freezing. Can someone please help me out???

It's normal for folders to be marked read only, what ever your problem is, it is not this.
Have you seen this article on troubleshooting freezes:

How Do I: Fill a read-only field based on selections from 2 DDlists?

Follow-up from issue:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2417876#2417876
I have 2 drop-down lists... "Department" and "SubDepartment"
The selection in DDlist "Department" spawns a unique list in DDlist "SubDepartment"
I select the proper items from both DDlists.
When I do this, I want read-only text field "NameOnIDBadge" to be populated with a pre-defined entry.
Example:
In "Department" DDlist, select item "Finance & Administration"
In "SubDepartment" DDlist, select item "Food Service" from the list that appears
THEN:
In read-only text field "NameOnIDBadge" the following predefined read-only text appears: "Contract Food Serv."
(Thanks to Paul, I already know how to make the selection in DDlist "Department" affect the selection list in DDlist "SubDepartment"
but I don't know how to make the selection of both DDlists create a new pre-defined entry in a text field.)
I have attached a mockup of the file I am working with...

I tried that but a few things went wrong.
1. After I select "Food Service" in the second "SubDepartment" DDlist, a Javascript error message pops up (see attached), and I have to click it to make it go away. Then the text "Contract Food Serv" appears in the text box.
2. If I select a different value in the Department DDlist, the rawtext still remains in place... it should clear out.
3. The raw text seems to be based on the selection of the SubDepartment DDlist only. However, I need specific raw text to be generated based on the combination of BOTH DDlists.   (It could happen that a totally different Department DDlist could have the same item in its corresponding SubDepartment DDlist. In that case, the rawtext would be completely different.)
Correct example:
Department DDlist = Finance & Administration
SubDepartment DDlist = Food Service
NameOnIDBadge = Contract Food Serv <-- CORRECT
Incorrect example:
Department DDlist = Clinical Services
SubDepartment DDlist = Food Service
NameOnIDBadge = Contract Food Serv   <-- INCORRECT   (it might be something else)

How to assign read only access for a database to a single user?

Hi Bhanu,
Thanks for your reply, I am not sure i got it. I have a user created with the name of 'msam_test' and if i login into management studio with this userid and password i dont see any databases showing up because i used the DENY View command to hide which is
working fine.Now i just want to see only 1 database named 'suresh3_test' with a read only access to this database.
I tried using your code in the below way
USE [suresh3_test]
CREATE USER [<msam_test>] FOR LOGIN [<msam_test>] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
exec SP_ADDROLEMEMBER 'DB_DATAREADER','<msam_test>'
But i receive an error saying
Msg 15007, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
'<msam_test>' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.
Msg 15410, Level 11, State 1, Procedure sp_addrolemember, Line 75

Can you please help me on this.

XML FORM - How to save read-only controls with a default value

Hello everybody,
I have a 3 xml forms, each one to create one type of news. I need to use 3 because each of this forms has their own controls. But the control which indicates the type of news (asociated with a KM Predefined Property) must be common in the 3 forms, in order to use it on searches.
The question is, how can I include in this forms a control:
- Visible for the user
- With a default value defined in the control properties (each form has a different value, corresponding with the type of news)
- Read-only mode
- The value showed in the control must be saved in the associated KM Predefined Property when the user clicks the Save button.
Anyone knows how to do this?
What control can I use?
I was thinking of trying with text boxes, but I don't find the way to make them unwritable (Read only mode).
It is posible using labels?
Thanks.
Kind regards

Hello Jose,
I know you responded with a question... I see it in the email, but I don't see it here! Very odd... but in response:
The first thing I do when I open the Edit.xsl file is do a 'find' for the name of the text field that I want to be read-only (in my test case, it's 'location'). Repeat the find until you see something like:
[code][/code]
Below there is where I put the new code. Mine looks like this:
[code]- <xsl:choose>
- <xsl:when test="location='' and ($editmode='create')">
- <xsl:choose>
- <xsl:when test="./xf:ValidationError/@tagname='location'">
- <input name="location" size="30" type="text" class="urEdfiTxtEnbl" id="field_1157467268006">
- <xsl:attribute name="tabindex">
- <xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$accessibilitymode='true'">21</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>3792</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="''" />
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="readonly">true</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:when>
- <xsl:otherwise>
- <input name="location" size="30" type="text" tabindex="3792" class="urEdfTxtEnbl" id="field_1157467268006">
- <xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="''" />
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="readonly">true</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>[/code]
I put the <xsl:attribute name="readonly"> in both places (when test, and when not test). I'm not entirely sure if that's necessary, but that worked for me.
Hope this helps,
Fallon

How to remove "Read Only" attribute on folders

Hi
I am logged in with my User account which has full control over my folders.<o:p></o:p>
I have a folder that I tried to add modifications to, however i could not do so because the folder was classified as read only. I have full permissions to this folder. Previously the app that
uses this folder could write to it quite happily, but today it fails. <o:p></o:p>
The 'attributes' for the folder shows a solid square in the read-only box. If I 'un-box' the read-only and apply > ok, when I look at the attributes again the box is still checked.<o:p></o:p>
So my question is, if it's not (which it shouldn't be) some sort of protected Windows folder, and I have full permissions on the folder (supposedly), why does Windows not respect my wishes,
get out of the way, and let me set it to what I want it to be?<o:p></o:p>
I have tried the following methods to fix this issue, but none of them work:<o:p></o:p>
-Adjusting permissions and control, and changing security options<o:p></o:p>
-Using a third party application such as "clear read only" to remove the check on the box<o:p></o:p>
-Using the "attrib" function on the CMD prompt<o:p></o:p>
-Boot Scan for virus/malware that is affecting folder attributes<o:p></o:p>
-Running applications and CMD as administrator<o:p></o:p>
I have heard that if using a NTFS harddrive, then all folders will be automatically “Read Only” and that it is impossible to change that attribute. I find this hard to believe, as all folders
should have some way of being modified, regardless of what HDD I’m using. I obviously cannot change to FAT32, so how else can I get my folders to get rid of this ridiculous error!
<o:p>I have also noticed that this problem is very common amongst Windows users. If this problem has been around for a while, how is it possible that no solution has presented itself.
Regardless, we need a solution to it, because i can't do the things i need to while the Read Only attribute remains a constant on my folders. I thought it may be a virus, but my avast anti-virus did not pick up any infected areas when the scan was done. I
have searched the internet, and no "fix" has solved this issue. The only fix i have not found is a reg edit that could completely remove this read only attribute from all folders. Though i feel this is not neccesary, as i only need the attribute
to be removed from certain folders. Please kindly assist me with this issue, hopefully it will help many others too...</o:p>
Many thanks.

Have you taken ownership of the folder? Please first take ownership of the folder, then change the security options
Take Ownership of a File or Folder

If you have already did this, then run a scan with this tool,

or copy this folder to another location, test again.

How to populate read only input field or text view form value help only

Hi experts,
I have one requirement to populate a read-only field or text view from value help.
User cant put any value there.value comes only from the value help.
For example,
when we read context using Code Wizard,we cant type any value there.value only comes from value help.
How to implement that functionality?
Please reply.
Thanks in advance,
Subhasis.

Yes it is possible.
1.Create a context Attribute and then bind this attribute to the Text view UI element.
2. read context attribute and then set value to the context attribute like this way.
DATA:
    elem_context1                        TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
    stru_context1                        TYPE if_first=>element_context ,
    item_potxt                          LIKE stru_context-potxt.
get element via lead selection
elem_context1 = wd_context->get_element( ).
stru_context1-potxt = 'PO'.
elem_context1->set_attribute(
    VALUE = stru_context1
    name   = 'POTXT'
thanks

CD-RW is marked 'read only' by hard disk utility

I want to scratch the contents of a CD-RW or DVD-RW using tht hard disk utility. But this is impossible, the software indicates 'read only'. Even for a new CD the utility says 'read only'. But in the finder the information for the CD is 'read and write'.
What can be the reason? A specific parameter that I by accident set? Or a hardware problem?

How can I read only text files in a directory.

I've written a program to read files in a directory but I'd like for it to only read the text files of that directory.
import java.io.*;
public class Data {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
String target_dir = "C:\\files";
File dir = new File(target_dir);
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
for (File textfiles : files) {
if (textfiles.isFile()) {
BufferedReader inputStream = null;
try {
inputStream = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(textfiles));
String line;
while ((line = inputStream.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
} finally {
if (inputStream != null) {
inputStream.close();

You have mentioned you want to read only text files.
If you are referring to some specific set of extentions, you can filter based on that.
ex: you want to read only .txt files, you can add an if condition as below :
if(textfiles.getName().endsWith(".txt")) {
// Add your code here
