Facility Control

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone knows a way to make a Time Picker widget read only? Basically the user will select an option from a dropdown menu and based on the value of the dropdown it will make a Time Picker either read/write or Read only.

Thanks!

Hi
Try this as an idea. I have 2 param on the UI that are on top of one another, one is editable the other not. I then have a couple of buttons (or whatever in your code) to reveal or hide as required.
This uses an attribute on a param called editable, but I couldn't figure out a way to programatically change it. Using the %value% method didn't work.

<param access="1" maxlength="0" name="Test" oid="Time" type="STRING" value="01:06:01" widget="time-picker"/>

You can use params.setAccess(OID, value); where a value of 0 = read only and a value of 1 = read/write.

<abs contexttype="opengear">
   <meta>
      <params>
         <param access="1" maxlength="0" name="Test" oid="Time" type="STRING" value="01:06:01" widget="time-picker"/>
         <param access="1" constrainttype="INT_CHOICE" name="Editable" oid="Editable" precision="0" type="INT32" value="0" widget="checkbox">
            <constraint key="0">Read Only</constraint>
            <constraint key="1">Editable</constraint>
         </param>
      </params>
   </meta>
   <param expand="true" height="53" left="49" oid="Time" showlabel="false" style="size:Big" top="30" width="185"/>
   <param expand="true" height="40" left="265" oid="Editable" runtasksonload="true" top="37" width="41">
      <task tasktype="ogscript">params.setAccess('Time', params.getValue('Editable', 0)); //0 = read only, 1 = read/write</task>
   </param>
</abs>

Thanks James and Simonl, I just saw this so I tried James's method first and it worked great.

Hey James, I did run into one issue. When I go into Panel builder mode and I edit any object in the panel, then "Apply and Close" it changes the widget. When I change param (a) to set it back to editable it stays Read-Only until I refresh the page (F5). See attached screenshots.

I specify the hint in the parameter. I have an API set up to trigger the read only, then in each drop down menu I reference that API on change, it also take affect on load. Right now I have 2 params that are stuck on read only. I had to go into the "source" code of the param and add back in access. See below examples.

Working Param

<param access="1" colspan="1" expand="true" fill="both" maxlength="0" oid="S.START.01" precision="0" rowspan="1" weightx="1.0" weighty="1.0">
                  <config key="w.format">HH:mm</config>
                  <config key="w.restricted">true</config>
                  <task tasktype="ogscript">updateSchedulerArrays();</task>
                  <task tasktype="ogscript">%const['GlobalFunctions']['SetTime']%
SetTime()</task>
               </param>

Non-working Param

<param colspan="1" expand="true" fill="both" oid="S.START.05" precision="0" rowspan="1" weightx="1.0" weighty="1.0">
                  <config key="w.format">HH:mm</config>
                  <config key="w.restricted">true</config>
                  <task tasktype="ogscript">updateSchedulerArrays();</task>
                  <task tasktype="ogscript">%const['GlobalFunctions']['SetTime']%
SetTime()</task>
               </param>
