Pop up alert on incompatible selections

Tue, 30 Dec 2014 12:10:41 GMT

Hi guys,

I want to create a pop up Windows depending on some conditions.

I explain: I have two list boxes listA and listB.

listA listB

1 A

2 B

2 C

4 D

5 E

6 F

7 G

8 H

9 I

10 J

for example when a user selects "1" in listA the possible values in listB are A,B,C.

What I want to do is to create a pop up warning when a user wants to select values D or E (or other incompatible values in listB) in listB (assuming that "1" is always selected in listA)

How can I do ?

Ideally users should be taught about the significance of the qv colors. If always one selected value is enabled, users won't able to select a greyed value from other listbox. If you want to remove this confusion(if you feel so), you can hide the excluded/greyed values from the listbox. Listbox->General tab->Hide excluded. Or, using listbox expression like:

Aggr(FieldB,FieldB)

thanks for your reply.

I alreadry knew this feature. I wanted to do something different. Do you have an idea on how I can achieve that goal ?
