Force selection in a field in order to show data on graph

[eliran]

Hi,

Easy question for you guys, I want to show data on a graph but only if a selection is being made.

I can't enable 'Always one field selected' from the list box properties, I just want the user will select one of the options from that list box.

I've done it in the past but I just forgot where it can be done :S

Regards,

Eliran.

Hi Elrian,

You can use "Conditional Show" on the layout tab.

Count (DISTINCT fieldname)=1

This should work.

Dennis,

I remembered something else but hey.. It's simple, it's working.. So thanks 🙂

Eliran,

My method of choice is the GetSelectedCount() function - I'm assuming it was designed for this very reason.

eg: getselectedcount(FieldX), so in teh Calculation Condition of the General Tab: 'getselectedcount(FieldX)>n'

I assume the only difference between this and the previous solution will be load on the application - but either way should be next to nothing.

Hope that helps,

Hi Eliran,

to enable the 'Always one field selected' select an item in your list box, then go to properties e check the option.

After that you will not be able to deselect any items.
