disable/force boolean controls

[tommpogg]

Suppose that I have two boolean controls A and B.

Now I would like to diseble control B and force it to false whenever A=true.

I know I can do it by changing the properties (Value and Disable) of control B through a "Property Node".

Am I right?

Now, what if the two controls are embedded in a cluster? Am I still able to disable one of them depending on the value of the other?

Hi timmpogg,

even when the boolean controls are located in a cluster you can use property nodes for them...

[tommpogg]

Hi GerdW,

Thank you for the suggestion.

I agree, but I can use a property node for the cluster as a whole.

I cannot see how can I access the properties of an element of the cluster.

[tommpogg]

Sorry, I've just discovered how to access the properties of an element of a cluster.

Thank you again

Hi tommpogg,

to solve that riddle for all others: Right-click the control on the frontpanel (!) and select "create->property node"...

How exactly do you connect that?

Hi Romagallon,

who is "you" you are talking to?

What is "that" what you want to connect to what?

[Romagallon]

I mean, force boolean b to false whenever A=true; but also being able to control b on its own.

Hi Romagallon,

force boolean b to false whenever A=true;

Simple boolean operation:

result := NOT(A) AND B

but also being able to control b on its own.

So you want to be able to switch boolean button B while in parallel reacting on button A?

Two notes:

- use an event structure with a "Value change" event for button A to only rect on actual user input

- set the value and the disabled state of button B in this event as needed

But if both are controls, how do i do it?

Are how can a make a boolean control to off after the program stops running or set everything to a certain default state?
