Example 1: Selecting a Check Box Enables Text Boxes

In this example from the Characterize Data task, the selection of the SAS data sets check box determines whether the Frequency data and Univariate data text boxes are available. (In the Tasks section, the Characterize Data task is in the Data group.)

In this example, SASDATASETS is the name of the check box. FRQDATA and UNIDATA are the names of the input text fields.

<Option name=SASDATASETS" defaultValue="1" inputType="checkbox">
   SAS data sets</Option>
<Option name="FRQDATA" indent="1" defaultValue="WORK.CharacterizeDataFRQ"
   inputType="inputtext" width="100%">Frequency data:</Option>
<Option name="UNIDATA" indent="1" defaultValue="WORK.CharacterizeDataUNI"
   inputType="inputtext" width="100%">Univariate data:</Option>

<Dependency condition="$SASDATASETS=='1'"/>
   <Target conditionResult="true" option="FRQDATA" action="enable"/>
   <Target conditionResult="false" option="FRQDATA" action="disable"/>
   <Target conditionResult="true" option="UNIDATA" action="enable"/>
   <Target conditionResult="true" option="UNIDATA" action="enable"/>
</Dependency>

By default, the SAS data sets check box is selected, so the Frequency data and Univariate data text boxes are enabled. Here are the results that appear on the Options tab:

Selected SAS data sets check box means that text boxes are enabled

If you clear the SAS data sets check box, the Frequency data and Univariate data text boxes are not available. Here are the results that appear on the Options tab:

SAS data sets check box is not selected, so the Frequency data and Univariate data text boxes are dimmed
