I have record with few fields and one of them (primary_key) is "listbox". What I need is to change the "listbox" field to "label" but just in "update/delete" mode. When is insert mode I have to keep "listbox". Any short tip how can I do that?
Thanks, Rado

Something like - if EditMode is True change "filed1" listbox property to "label". I assume I should use "beforeshow" event.
Thanks, Rado

You can't change it runtime. But you can create 2 different control = listbox and label, put 2 Pannel around it, then add a Before Show event for your Record form:
if ($Container->EditMode) {
//Edit Mode
$Container->Pannel_listbox->Visible = False;
} else {
//Add Mode
$Container->Pannel_label>Visible = False;
}

After long time I tried this solution and it works fine. Thanks Gena. However I have problem with field that is required in "add" mode but not in "edit" mode. I can't perform update of record. I got message "The value in field Apartment Number is required". How can I change the properties of field in edit mode? I update my custom code and it looks like :
==========================================================
//Custom Code @140-2A29BDB7
// -------------------------
if ($Container->EditMode) {
//Edit Mode
$Container->Pannel_listbox->Visible = false;
$Container->unit_number->Required = false;
} else {
//Add Mode
$Container->Pannel_label->Visible = false;
}
// -------------------------
//End Custom Code
=============================================================
but it doesn't work.
Is there anybody that can help me?
Thanks a lot.
Rado

havent done it myself - but according to help -
-----
Syntax
object->EditMode
Description
This property determines whether given record form is currently in edit or insert mode. In edit mode all data source parameters need to have values assigned (including row identifier). In insert mode not all have to be assigned values.
Examples
The following example shows how to hide a dependent form on a page when the main form is not in EditMode.
global $items;
global $item_prices;
if (! $items->EditMode)
{
$item_prices->Visible = false;
}
where $items is the name of the main form, and $item_prices is the name of the form that shows elements that depend on the data in the main form.
------
syntax is a little different to what you have used....

also - gena's example is hiding the panel - have you enclosed your field in a panel?
my example was hiding a whole grid/record

Yes I have enclosed my fields in pannel, and I named the panel exact as Gena's example. The hiding the panels works just fine, however the update procedure doesn't since the one of the list-box required field is hidden. Now I'm looking for solution to change the property of list-box (not required) when the mode is edit.
Thanks for respond.

ok - if the field is required, and you are editing an existing record, why isnt there a value already in this field?
anyways - create 2 edit grids - one for add which includes this field and one for edit which doesnt contain the field/record at all. update your links appropriately.
i *think* there may also be a way to *disable* a field - you may be able to use the method above to do such a thing

-or-
create 2 editable grids in seperate panels and show/hide the panel based on the url parameter (or lack of for add mode)...

Thanks damian,
When i run my record in edit mode without hiding list-box and label, both fields have same the value. Then when I hide list-box and show just the label to disable user to change it, then I got problems when I hit update button about required field. It looks like that update works just with list-box and when is not hidden. The label is not even considered.
I will try this solution with two 2 editable grids.
Thanks again for help.

Rado did you try avoiding the required attibutes(to no) and only validate (on validate events)
of course during insert mode.

Actually, I didn't try it. It sounds much simpler solution then setting up two different edit grids ....
Thanks, I will definitely try it.

Since I didn't work with "on validate events" before (still newbie with CCS), is there standard validation code that I can use for "required filed" validation or I have to write my own validation procedure? Is there any example that I can use for it?
Thanks, Rado

I just tried to use "on validate" event and once I set it I got exact same problem - the update didn't go trough since the required field (this time controled by :validate on" event) was empty.

if you are using the "on validate" event you would still need to somehow have it check whether you are in update or add mode... required is still required....
you might be able to change/set your validation string in before show....
it only take a couple of minutes to run the builder to create a new grid.... put both grids in panels... show hide your panels... really doesnt take long... maybe not so elegant... but it works.
