Set value (TRUE, FALSE) on a checkbox

Question

I want to set the value of a checkbox to FASLE when a second checkbox is checked (TRUE). Any idea?

Answer 1

Hello here are two scripts which may help.
With the first one, select a range of cells whose top-left one contain the master checkbox, the bottom-right one contain the slave checkbox.
Running the script will set the slave box to the opposite of the master one.
With the second one, select a range whose cells of left column contain master checkboxes and column to the right contain slave checkboxes.
Running the script will set the slave boxes to the opposite of the corresponding master ones.

Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : setslavecheckbox.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner un bloc de cellules dont
la cellule en haut à gauche contient la case à cocher maitre
la cellule en bas à droite contient la case à cocher 'esclave'
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir setslavecheckbox
Si la case maitre est cochée, la case esclave sera décochée.
Si la case maitre est dé-cochée, la case esclave sera cochée.

the bottom right cell contain the slave checkbox.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose "setslavecheckbox"
If the master checkbox is checked, the slave one will be unchecked.
If the slave checkbocx in unchecked, the slave one will be checked.

To be honest, I don't understand the need for such tools.
Why use two checkboxes when a single one would be sufficient?
For instance, I saw tables with a checkbox which was checked when the described being was a male
and an other checkbox which was checked when the described being was a female.
As far as I know, when the first box is unchecked, the being is a female so the second box is useless.
