Example
This Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) example uses the CustomPropertyChange event to enable a control when a Boolean field is set to True.
For this example, create two custom fields on the second page of a form. The first, a Boolean field, is named "RespondBy". The second field is named "DateToRespond".
Sub Item_CustomPropertyChange(ByVal myPropName)
Select Case myPropName
Case "RespondBy"
Set myPages = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages
Set myCtrl = myPages("P.2").Controls("DateToRespond")
If Item.UserProperties("RespondBy").Value Then
myCtrl.Enabled = True
myCtrl.Backcolor = 65535 'Yellow
Else
myCtrl.Enabled = False
myCtrl.Backcolor = 0 'Black
End If
Case Else
End Select
End Sub
