Simplifying Large Amount of Checkboxes or Radio Buttons

Hey everyone,
I am having an issue with handling a problem. I think part of is that I don't know how to approach the problem. Let me explain the problem and my idea for the solution(you'll see why it's difficult or tedious)
Problem: Our software records 145 channels. Sometimes we use all of these channels, but more often than not, we use a fraction of this. Due to the complexity of the acquisition code, which was written outside of the lab, we have decided to handle this issue by post processing data. We want to see a list of the channels, and select which ones we want to remove.
My solution: Create a front panel with all of the channels name(dynamic) and a checkbox or radio button next to each one. I have gotten the names, but the only way I can see to handle the check boxes is to make 145 of them, which means I'll have 145 controls in my block diagram and that can be a bit of a cluster(pun intended). I couldn't find anything that LabVIEW had built in or anything on the forums. I may have been looking for the wrong thing. I would appreciate any guidance or solutions.
If I just need to put my big boy pants on and deal with the high amount of controls, I will. I have always been under the impression that if it code looks too ugly, you're probably doing it wrong.
Thanks,
Seth

It also depends if all these channels can be splitted into logical groups. In this case you can bundle them in clusters.
In the attached picture there is a cluster containing 16 smaller clusters. Note that in the actual application there is 2 other tabs with similar cluster of clusters. These 3 major clusters where also bundled into a master Signal Select cluster (this was developped in LV2009 so the cluster constant took an awful lot of block diagram space, I welcomed the cluster constat icon feature introduced in LV2010!).
In the lower right you can see how this unbundled.

How to realize Checkbox and Radio Buttons based on Attributes in JHeadstart

Hy@ all,
I try to redevelop the Summit Forms Demo in ADF.
The module "ORDER" contains, among other things, a checkbox and radio buttons based on database columns(VARCHAR2).
The column(checkbox) named PAYMENT_TYPE contains the values CASH and CREDIT and the column(radio button) called ORDER_FILLED contains the values Y and N.
After creating the business components, I set in JHeadstarts Application Definition the Display Type of these two attributes to checkBox and radio-horizontal.
I created a dymanic domain for the radio-horizontal and a static domain for the checkBox.
The radio-horizontal within the dymanic domain works nearly correct.
I set the Data Collection in this dynamic domain to the required Group and the Value and Meaning Attribute to the necessary Attribute.
Within the JSF- Page the values are shown right but unfortunately there are too many radio buttons available. Instead of displaying the two radio buttons CASH and CREDIT were many CASH and CREDIT radio buttons shown.
I can´t find any solution for this case.
The problem with the checkBox is that therfore a static domain is required but I want to show the value of the checkBox based on the described attribute, like the handling of the radio horizontal.
But I don´t know how to implement this, if it is possible.
I´m using JHeadstart v10.1.3.2 and I´m pleased about any reply or solution.
Best regards
Chris

Chris,
If you run the application module tester, and query the view object usage underlying your dynamic domain, how many rows does it return? It should return only two rows, one for CASH and one for CREDIT. If more than two rows are returned, your query is wrong.
What is the problem with using a static domain for the checkbox?

Tree structure with checkboxes and radio buttons

Hi,
I am using SNODETEXT as tree structure. On the child node, I need to have checkboxes and radio buttons. Is this possible?

Hi
Muse does not currently have dropdown lists, radio buttons, or checkboxes as part of the forms. You may want to check out using Adobe FormsCentral, Jotform, or Wufoo and inserting them via Object > Insert HTML as an alternative from the Muse forms, as those forms will have the lists, buttons, and checkboxes you're looking for.
Another way if you are publishing your site to Business Catalyst, then you can create forms in BC admin section and copy the form html in Muse page which will render the from that you have created in BC in your Muse site page.

Values of checkboxes and radio buttons not recognised

Hi folks,
I have a bit of a strange problem and I'm hoping you can help shed some light.
Basically I have a form with various elements in it, some of which seem to have a problem telling my pl/sql code what their values are. The culprits seem to be radio buttons and check boxes. Now those are individual items created with the wizard within a specific section if the outcome is different from sql created form elements in tables.
The radio buttons is one field, let's call it :P100_RADIO which returns either 'AB', 'CD' or 'EF'. The checkbox, let's call it :P100_CHECKBOX is just one checkbox returning the value 'Y' if it's checked.
after submit, I have a process which among other things checks the value returned by those two elements to set a variable v_paid either as 'Y' or 'N'
as a small summary of what I'm trying to do, here's a code snippet:
v_checkbox varchar2(1);
v_paid varchar2(1);
begin
v_checkbox := :P100_CHECKBOX;
if v_checkbox is not null AND :P100_RADIO = 'CD' THEN
v_paid := 'Y';
else
v_paid := 'N';
end if;
end;If I submit my form I get the error message
"ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error"If I change the condition to v_checkbox is not null only, I get the same error
If I change it to v_checkbox != '' I don't get an error but v_paid is set with 'N'
If I change it to v_checkbox = 'Y', I get the same error again
If I change it to *:P100_RADIO = 'CD'* only, I get the error as well.
I also mistakenly tried v_checkbox is null and it submitted fine, though the value of v_paid was still 'N'
I've tried changing the varchar2(1) to something greater, up to varchar2(4000) but that didn't make any difference.
So I seem to understand there's a discrepancy of types somewhere but I can't work out where or how to change that. In my code an insert is performed after the if statement and the value of :P100_RADIO is added to the table with the expected value.
After looking at the source of the page produced by Apex, I also tried to replace :P100_CHECKBOX with :P100_CHECKBOX_0 but that didn't make a difference either. It's possible Apex thinks :P100_RADIO and :P100_CHECKBOX are supposed to return some sort of arrays but just why it would just return a string in an sql statement beats me.
The worst thing is, I'm fairly certain the code worked the first time I implemented it. So if anyone has any idea of what's going on that would be quite helpful. As always, I have a nagging suspicion it's a silly tiny mistake somewhere I just can't see.
Thanks folks :)

okay here's the code for the whole procedure. Some variable names have been changed but it's otherwise the same code:
DECLARE
v_total_cost     NUMBER(10,2);
v_deposit        NUMBER(10,2);
v_remaining      NUMBER(10,2);
v_payment_type   varchar2(2);
v_checkbox       varchar2(4000);
v_user           varchar2(4000);
v_bok_paid       varchar2(1);
v_msg            varchar2(4000);
BEGIN
v_total_cost     := :P100_COST;
v_deposit        := :P100_DEPOSIT;
v_remaining      := v_total_cost - v_deposit;

--wwv_flow.debug('before condition');
if v_checkbox != '' AND :P100_RADIO = 'CD' THEN

else

Automatic Graphics Switching: Checkbox vs Radio Buttons

In the Energy Saver preferences pane, there is a toggle for graphics switching on my rMBP. Sometimes this displays as two radio buttons for Better Performance or Longer Battery Life. Sometimes this appears as a checkbox for Automatic graphics switching. Why does it display one way or another; is there any difference between the radio buttons and the checkbox?

I thought it might be something like that, but I've seen both modes when I'm on battery power. I'm plugged in right now and it's giving me the radio buttons.
Interestingly, when the radio buttons are shown it defaults to Higher performance even though the current setting appears to be Better battery life (indicated by the You must log out…message, which disappears when I select Better battery life). This happens every time I see the radio buttons.

In linux, the larger checkboxes and radio buttons are breaking my layout - how can I override them?

I've tried css with selector input[type="checkbox"] but this has no effect.

You need to add <b>-moz-appearance:none!important;</b>

Search Forms by Checkbox or Radio Button state ?

I use and store Acrobat forms which we index (Catalog) and can search by text to retrieve a particular form. Several forms use checkboxes to convey some of the required information and it would be useful to search (or narrow a search) by particular checkbox state. Anyone done this successfully? (eg by adding a script to a checkbox action that would insert hidden but searchable text relating to the checkbox.... or is there a better way.... or a better way with LiveCycle forms?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response Michael.
You are right of course, but the problem is what we might call 'the usual':- Acrobat and Reader are excellent for deploying the forms and collecting the responses, everyone is familiar with the search interface (though it could be much better) and we don't generally deploy database software within the organisation, so very few people are familiar either with constructing or using. I will explore for my own use though.

Printing of checkboxes/radio buttons etc

Hi,
it seems that if the default print IE setting does not print background images then checkboxes and radio buttons do not appear in the printout?
Is there anyway around this besides changing the IE setting?

Hi
In your Internet Explorer Window goto
1) Tools Menu
2)Intenet Options
3)Advanced Tab
4)Printing
5)Select "Print Background colors and images"
enable that check box and try to print again and see

Making checkboxes/radio buttons the same size?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out a way to make all my checkboxes and/or radio buttons the same size on a document. I've tried right-clicking the button, to check the properties but it's not giving me much. When I tried to copy-paste the checkbox, it will automatically assign the same properties of the copied checkbox to the pasted one - which is annoying because if I check the first box, the second box is automatically check too! Not what I want
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks a million!

For Acrobat 9, select all of your checkboxes or radio buttons. With them selected, right click Set Fields to Same Size and choose Both. The fields will size to match the size of the last item you selected.

Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?

Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work? My PDF form did convert using Adobe PDF Export.... but the formatting is a schamozzle if I try to do anything with it. Most importantly, I need the check boxes and radio buttons to work in Word!

Checkboxes and radio buttons are form objects from Acrobat. There is no equivalent for these objects, with the way they were constructed, within Word.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Tab order of radio buttons skipping back

I'm currently using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (trial for now) to mess around with forms. I am having a problem right now with the tab order. I believe the culprits are a few pairs of radio buttons I have set up sequentially. Each pair is in it's own group with one being "Y" and the other "N". After setting the tab order such that I can easily navigate the form in the specified order, I have found that when I reach the bottom of the first page (the same page in which my radio buttons are found), with the last object that I "tab" through being a text field, I am redirected back up to the radio buttons instead of proceeding to the next tabulated object located on the next page. When I first tab through the radio buttons, the default value I land on is the "Y" value, and when I am unexpectedly redirected there again, the default value I land on is the "N" value of the first radio button. If I tab through everything to the bottom of the page, I am once again redirected back up to the radio buttons. If I mouse click on the next field on page 2 and tab through, everything works fine including being able to move onto page 3 in the expected order. So what gives? Why would I keep getting redirected back up to the radio buttons at the end of tabulating through page 1? I have the radio button groups in the correct tab order, but I'm not sure how to fix this issue with the radio buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried looking online in multiple places for a solution, but haven't quite found one to this or anyone else who might have this same problem. If any further clarification is needed, please let me know. Thanks!

Make sure the thenames for all items including Checkboxes and radio buttons are unique on each page if go to adjust ment for tab order you can drag them to the correct order.
even though you may have placed them at a specific spot if you added then at a later place in the design (say as an after thought, hey I need to add this), their tab order is based on when they are added not the position the actual element is placed.
In other words if the check boxes /radio buttons are the fourth item down position wise in document by they were the twentith item added they will skipped over thad the other 19 in turn will be tabbed to the when 20th tab is hit they will bounce back up to the check boxes/ Radio buttons.
Be sure they are titled button1 button1a, button 2 button 2a and so on or lese the will be marked all at the same time and may bounce back to the first position they were in.
