How to display checkbox and not allow edit

[jay.l.fisher]

I have a database field which contains either a Y or N. I want it to display as a checkbox but I don't want it to be directly editable through the UI. The following definition does cause it to display as a checkbox, but it also allows it to be changed even with canEdit="false". Is there some other way to indicate that it cannot be changed, or should I use another method besides editorType="Checkbox"?

<field name="IREC" type="text" title="Reclassed?" detail="true"
  editorType="Checkbox" labelAsTitle="true" canEdit="false"> 
    <valueMap>
      <value ID="Y">true</value>
      <value ID="N">false</value>
    </valueMap>
</field>

That canEdit="false" setting should do it. Do you have a field definition in the ListGrid as well, or possible a ListGrid.canEditCell() override, that is reversing that setting?

It's actually in a DynamicForm where the editing remains enabled. Here's the code that sets up the form. Anything else I should try or any additional information I can supply to help find the problem.

itemForm.setDataSource(ipItemMasterDS);
itemForm.setUseAllDataSourceFields(true);
itemForm.setShowDetailFields(true);
itemForm.setWidth("*");
SubmitItem submit = new SubmitItem();
submit.setTitle("Save Changes");
itemForm.setFields(submit);
itemForm.setSaveOnEnter(true);

Normally the form implements a read-only field by switching to a StaticTextItem, but your explicit setting CheckboxItem prevents this. You can either:

1) stick with the CheckboxItem but implement a change handler that always returns false to prevent editing

2) use valueIcons to create the same appearance as a checkbox by pointing to the same image files used by the default checkbox

It seems like the valueIcons suggestion may be the easiest to implement, although it does seem like a workaround. canEdit="false" should be enough. Can I specify valueIcons in the data source xml? If so, can you point me to an example or tell me what the syntax should be?

[Isomorphic]

You can specify valueIcons in the DataSource XML, it looks like:

<valueIcons storedValue="image/path" 
                 otherStoredValue="other/image/path"/>
