How do I disable the entire feature set parameter via tool validation?

RoySP

I am using tool validation to enable/disable parameters based on a boolean.

One of the parameters I want to disable is a feature set.

However, the input parameter disables but the actual interactive portion that allows you to draw a feature on the map is not disabled. How do I get that to disable as well?

Hi Dan,

Yes that is exactly what I did.

My code is below

However, the issue is it only disables the text box where you see the parameter "COIBuffer::Draw_Input_Selection_Polygon" that is grayed out, but does not disable the portion which allows you to draw the polygon as shown below.

And I dont see how to disable that because the text box and the portion which allows you to draw the polygon seem to be part of one parameter of type Feature Set

I think the operative portion of the validation section in the link is...

The part that you can do by adding code.
The part that ArcGIS does automatically for you. This part of validation is referred to as internal validation (or basic validation), since it is the basic validation done internally by geoprocessing in ArcGIS.

Which I think means that you will have to right the code to disable the listbox if the checkbox is toggled on.

Hi Dan,

Yes. A boolean parameter triggers the disabling.

In the screenshot, when I check the "Buffer by selecting an existing feature" check box, I want the entire "Draw Input Selection Polygon" portion to be disabled. Right now, it does not disable the part which allows you to draw a polygon.

It is almost like there are two parameters in the first parameter but only one of them disables.

I hope this makes sense.
