XWidgetSoft Forum

Hi. I'd like to have some check boxes in my custom widget which is going to be a Christmas shopping tracker. I'd like a checkbox for specifications such as 'bought', 'wrapped' etc. The problem is whenever the widget reloads the check boxes don't remember their last state. Is there some code I can use to get the check boxes to remember their last state, i.e checked or unchecked so that they all don't reset on reload?

Thank you.

Hello. Could you please attach here a screenshot or better the .xwp to check from the inside what do you mean?

Hi. I've attached a screenshot. Basically what i've created is a glorified checklist that doesn't function correctly. When the checkboxes are clicked on they show the ticked/unticked variation fine but when the widget is closed and reloaded the boxes don't have any memory. For instances how memos autosave whenever you write on them, that text is still there when it's reloaded. I'm wondering if there's a way to make the checkboxes autosave.

Hmm.. I see.
I will check the checkbox function.
Meanwhile I'm thinking another way. You can use two images for each box and use the show/hide function with each clickon. Let me do some tests and I will reply to you attaching a demo widgets.

Thank you. I think I have tried that approach come to think of it. The show/hide doesn't save when reloaded though.

You need to use a script to save certain configurations of a widget sparrow 91.
Some advanced functions require java script. Depends on the design.
I will reply asap..

Thanks

Ok. I created a demo widget with a trick, using 2 images/ 1 button with my way/script and works fine.
One little thing is that for the "button1" I used the background->solidcolor->transparency 1 to make the button clickable because my images are transparent.
Using a background image as you did behind the checked/unchecked images, normally you don't have to do this extra trick.

To reload widgets you can directly press F5 on the widget.
