Hi,

I have a data block, and I had to disable that block for updates if condition is satisfied.

So I included this code into When-New-Forme-Instance

IF :MYBLOCK.STATUS=1 THEN
	   Set_Block_Property('MYBLOCK',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);

This works fine. But, now I need to allow just one item to be updateable within that block. Other items shouldn't be updateable. So I tried this:

IF :MYBLOCK.STATUS=1 THEN
	   Set_Block_Property('MYBLOCK',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
Set_Item_Property('MYBLOCK.ITEM1',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);

That didn't work, so I changed that into:

IF :MYBLOCK.STATUS=1 THEN
	   Set_Block_Property('MYBLOCK',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
Set_Item_Property('MYBLOCK.ITEM1',UPDATEABLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);

I tried different variations with enabled, updateable, update_allowed properties, but nothing worked.

Any idea?

hi sindikalac,

If you use the code Set_Block_Property('MYBLOCK',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
you can't make update_allowed any item in "MYBLOCK" unless you use
Set_Block_Property('MYBLOCK',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);. But through this command all item would be update_allowed.

Under your condition you can repeat
Set_Item_Property('MYBLOCK.ITEM...',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);

above line for all displayed item of your block. And for item1 you have to use
Set_Item_Property('MYBLOCK.ITEM1',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);

So the code should be,
IF :MYBLOCK.STATUS=1 THEN
Set_item_Property('MYBLOCK.item2',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
Set_Item_Property('MYBLOCK.item3',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
.
.
.
Set_Item_Property('MYBLOCK.ITEM1',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);

Thank you Omar. I assumed it would be a solution, but I was hoping there is a simpler way, because I have a lot of items.

If you only have one item that needs to be made updateable, then define all the items with 'Update Allowed' as 'No' and then just 'turn on' the ones you need.

You can also 'loop' through the items in a block using 'Next Navigation Item', etcetera.
