I have an EDITFORM with a page called DataEntry. On the DataEntry page I have a combo box (called Subtype) and three ID text fields. Based on the value selected in the combo box, I need certain combinations of those ID fields to be visible, if applicable, or hidden with a value of "N/A" if not applicable, as described below:
If Subtype = 1 Then: IDfield1 = Visible IDfield2 = Hidden with value "N/A" IDfield3 = Hidden with value "N/A"
If Subtype = 2 Then: IDfield1 = Visible IDfield2 = Visible IDfield3 = Hidden with value "N/A"
If Subtype = 3 Then: IDfield1 = Hidden with value "N/A" IDfield2 = Hidden with value "N/A" IDfield3 = Visible
If Subtype = 4 Then: IDfield1 = Hidden with value "N/A" IDfield2 = Hidden with value "N/A" IDfield3 = Hidden with value "N/A"
I was hoping to be able to do this in my geodatabase with subtype default values as "N/A" where appropriate, but alas, ArcPad does not honor default values for subtypes. I cannot have the default values at the field level because then the data recorder would be able to collect a point without changing any "N/A" values.
I don't have a whole lot of experience with VB scripting in ArcPad studio, and I'm thinking I need to use the OnLoad event for the DataEntry page and the OnSelChange event for the Subtype combo box but I'm not exactly sure how to do this.
Ok, I figured out why I was getting a scripting error through the Trimble Positions check out process...my layer names in the check out process didn't match the script.
I'm looking to do the same thing as the OP but apply it to a related table (tableform element) does anyone know how to change this code to work with the related table form instead of the editform?
ie
COMBO BOX - "Item 1" selected
If Item 1 in combo box is selected make Field related to Item 1 visible.
Unfortunately I'm pretty new to scripting, can anyone help?
