HowTo: Programmatically change a TrueFalseCheckbox in IDM
The method how to access and change a TrueFalseCheckBox in IDM User Application forms is not exactly intuitive.
Here's how to do it:
If you have defined a custom TrueFalseCheckBox named "myCB", you can use a code snippet like this to trigger checking/unchecking the checkbox from any event.
try
{
if ( checkIt )
{
form.select( "myCB" );
}
else
{
form.select( "myCB", [ "false" ] );
}
}
catch (e) {}
Note: the "try .. catch" is used as a workaround to handle the error that may occur on some UA versions where the line
form.select( "myCB", [ "false" ] );
works as desired, but can trigger an exception.
The "try .. catch" is a workaround for this UA bug/error.
Tested on Identity Manager version 3.7.0 Build Revision 34881
