Disable iBrowser object

[Former Member]

Is there a method available to disable an iBrowser object(drop-down) on some event say - row selection on a grid?

All:

Appreciate your responses. Thanks for your inputs.

There's an "undocumented" method that you can try (via Javascript):

document.YourBrowserObject.getBrowserObject().getTreeObject().setEnabled(false);

This should work in tree mode, list mode, or drop-down list mode, but I haven't tried it.

Hi Srini,

For this thing you need to create html drop-down menu and add the items by fetching the data using iCommand Applet. On selection of your grid you can disable the html dropdown menu.

Here is some code to build an HTML select from an iGrid.

//------------------------------------------------
//	builds an HTML select object from data in an 
//		iGrid
//	- form: the form containing the select object.
//	- select: the name of the select object.
//	- applet: the name of the iGrid.
//	- displayColumn: the column number containing 
//		information to be displayed in the select.
//	- valueColumn: the column number containing 
//		information to be set as the value in the 
//		select.
//	- maxSize: for a multi-select, the max size of 
//		the element.
//------------------------------------------------
function buildHtmlSelectFromGrid(form, select, applet, displayColumn, 
			valueColumn, maxSize) {

	var grid = applet.getGridObject();

	for (var i=1; i<=grid.getRowCount(); i++) {
		select.options<i> = new Option(grid.getCellValue(i,displayColumn), 
				grid.getCellValue(i,valueColumn));
	}

	//	remove blank option
	select.options[0] = null;

	// set size of multiple select HTML element
	if (grid.getRowCount() <= maxSize) {
		select.size = grid.getRowCount();
	} else {
		select.size = maxSize;
	}
}

Hi srinivasan,

I dont think there is any method by which u can disable certain items in ur drop-down list, but u can write a javascript code using this method: <b>void removeItem(String strItemtoBeRemoved</b> to remove certain items from the list wen an event occurs to serve ur purpose.

thanks,

Sushma.
