How do you make a rule that would make a checkbox read only after its been checked. Would this be rule wizard or event? Every time i try and make a rule for it in customization it doesnt work.

Assuming the checkbox is bound to a field you can use a Row Rule. Here is example

Odd. That definitely looks correct. I assume the checkbox on your screen has the EpiBinding to FirmReleaseAll\_c?

Can you paste the code from the script editor just to see if perhaps something is off?

I’m running into similar issues. Checkbox control not recognized by a rule setting. Also can’t affect it with ExtendedProperties on the dataview column or changing an unbound checkbox control. Very annoying.

I got it to work on custom fields. Here is the code from the Customization screen.

Oh, and the proper extended property is “Read Only” not “Enabled”. That tripped me up when I was trying to do it too.

```
public void InitializeCustomCode()
	{
		// **Wizard Insert Location - Do not delete 'Begin/End Wizard Added Variable Initialization' lines**
		// Begin Wizard Added Variable Initialization

		// End Wizard Added Variable Initialization

		// Begin Wizard Added Custom Method Calls

		this.epiCheckBoxC1.CheckStateChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.epiCheckBoxC1_CheckStateChanged);
		this.epiCheckBoxC2.CheckStateChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.epiCheckBoxC2_CheckStateChanged);

		// End Wizard Added Custom Method Calls
	}

	public void DestroyCustomCode()
	{
		// **Wizard Insert Location - Do not delete 'Begin/End Wizard Added Object Disposal' lines**
		// Begin Wizard Added Object Disposal

		this.epiCheckBoxC1.CheckStateChanged -= new System.EventHandler(this.epiCheckBoxC1_CheckStateChanged);
		this.epiCheckBoxC2.CheckStateChanged -= new System.EventHandler(this.epiCheckBoxC2_CheckStateChanged);

		// End Wizard Added Object Disposal

		// Begin Custom Code Disposal

		// End Custom Code Disposal
	}

	private void epiCheckBoxC1_CheckStateChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs args)
	{
		if (epiCheckBoxC1.Checked = true)
		{
			//private void SetExtendedProperties()
			{
			// Begin Wizard Added EpiDataView Initialization
				EpiDataView edvPart = ((EpiDataView)(this.oTrans.EpiDataViews["Part"]));
			// End Wizard Added EpiDataView Initialization

			// Begin Wizard Added Conditional Block
				if (edvPart.dataView.Table.Columns.Contains("NPI_c"))
				{
				// Begin Wizard Added ExtendedProperty Settings: edvPart-NPI_c
					edvPart.dataView.Table.Columns["NPI_c"].ExtendedProperties["Read Only"] = true;
				// End Wizard Added ExtendedProperty Settings: edvPart-NPI_c
				}
			// End Wizard Added Conditional Block
			}
		}
	}
```

Hi,

I’m trying to do a similar thing on the order page with a UD checkbox but for some reason nothing is happening. The field does not become read only after it’s checked. Is there something I’m missing?

This is the code I used.

public void InitializeCustomCode()  
{  
// \*\* Wizard Insert Location - Do not delete ‘Begin/End Wizard Added Variable Initialization’ lines \*\*  
// Begin Wizard Added Variable Initialization

```
	// End Wizard Added Variable Initialization

	// Begin Wizard Added Custom Method Calls

	this.chkWarranty.CheckStateChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.chkWarranty_CheckStateChanged);
			
	// End Wizard Added Custom Method Calls
}

public void DestroyCustomCode()
{
	// **Wizard Insert Location - Do not delete 'Begin/End Wizard Added Object Disposal' lines**
	// Begin Wizard Added Object Disposal

	this.chkWarranty.CheckStateChanged -= new System.EventHandler(this.chkWarranty_CheckStateChanged);
	

	// End Wizard Added Object Disposal

	// Begin Custom Code Disposal

	// End Custom Code Disposal
}

private void chkWarranty_CheckStateChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs args)
{
	if (chkWarranty.Checked = true)
	{
	
		// Begin Wizard Added EpiDataView Initialization
			EpiDataView edvOrderHed = ((EpiDataView)(this.oTrans.EpiDataViews["OrderHed"]));
		// End Wizard Added EpiDataView Initialization

			// Begin Wizard Added Conditional Block
			if (edvOrderHed.dataView.Table.Columns.Contains("Warranty_c"))
			{
				//Begin Wizard Added ExtendedProperty 
					edvOrderHed.dataView.Table.Columns["Warranty_c"].ExtendedProperties["ReadOnly"] = true;
				// End Wizard Added ExtendedProperty 
			}
			// End Wizard Added Conditional Block
		
	}
}
```

I managed to get this working using the Row rule. 🙂
