need help with buttons toggle state and setting properties

[rajdev]

I have a checkbox (a toggle button) on my page and an input field. I want to use the checkbox to specify whether the Input field should be a password field or a normal input field. In other words, I want to give an option on whether the user wants to mask the input field or not.

Any idea how I could achieve this?

Well, here's a start. It's not complete... but a start.

So set your button attribute to Toggle with default UP and add this on the OnClick event of that button:

result = Button.GetState("Button1");

if result==BTN_UP then
---Standard Input
Input.SetProperties("Input1", tblInputProps.InputStyle);
else
---Password (masked) Input
Input.SetProperties("Input1", tblInputProp.InputStyle);
end

I just need to find how to handle tables XD, as it needs to be a table...

Hope this helps!

Yeah! By helping you, I helped myself to learn

So here's the final code:

 01 result = Button.GetState( "Button1");
 02 tpProperties = {};
 03 tpProperties.InputStyle = INPUT_PASSWORD;
 04 tProperties = {};
 05 tProperties.InputStyle = INPUT_STANDARD;
 06 if result==BTN_UP then
 07 ---Standard Input 
 08 -- Create properties table (only include items that should be changed) 
 09 -- Set the properties of an input object 
 10 Input.SetProperties( "Input1", tProperties); 
 11 else 
 12 -- Create properties table (only include items that should be changed) 
 13 -- Set the properties of an input object 
 14 Input.SetProperties( "Input1", tpProperties); 
 15 end

output enhanced with AMS Code Pretty

P.S: That code was easier to view, perhaps copy this one in your app, on the OnClick event:

result = Button.GetState("Button1");
tpProperties = {};
tpProperties.InputStyle = INPUT_PASSWORD;
tProperties = {};
tProperties.InputStyle = INPUT_STANDARD;
if result==BTN_UP then
---Standard Input
-- Create properties table (only include items that should be changed)
-- Set the properties of an input object
Input.SetProperties("Input1", tProperties);
else
-- Create properties table (only include items that should be changed)
-- Set the properties of an input object
Input.SetProperties("Input1", tpProperties);
end

You can also do it with less code.

if result==BTN_UP then
    -- Standard Input
    Input.SetProperties("Input1", {InputStyle=INPUT_STANDARD});
else
    -- Password Input
    Input.SetProperties("Input1", {InputStyle=INPUT_PASSWORD});
end
