On a screen where the operator is conditionally allowed to change certain values is there an easy way to allow a numeric input field to be selected and modified only under certain conditions?
In the past I have placed two objects, one a numeric display and one a numeric entry field, on top of each other and used visibility animation to hide the numeric entry field and unhide the numeric display when modification was not permitted. So far this has been adequate but editing the page gets rather tedious with all of the overlayed objects.
On a VBA form I would just enable the text box, then the box and contents are visible but greyed out, but I don't see a simple way to do this for the RSView or FTView numeric entry object.
Tag security won't work as I don't want to prevent changes to the values - just prevent a change to a value when doing so would present a problem to a running process.
