Enabling and Disabling Fields

This method in the Dialog class allows you to disable fields on a form during the interactive statement; the field is still visible, but the user cannot edit the value.

Values for the active state of the field can be:

The reference to the DIALOG object is provided by the runtime system. Provide the name of the field and its state to the method.

The following example disables the store_name field during an INPUT statement:
   INPUT BY NAME customer.*
    BEFORE INPUT
      CALL DIALOG.setFieldActive("customer.store_name",0)
    ...
   END INPUT

See the The Dialog class section in the Genero Business Development Language User Guide for a complete list of its methods.
