Mutually exclusive choices

[DustyMac]

I have a form with three on/off sliders. I want to ensure that only one of these is set, so that when one is turned on the other two are set to off. It is okay for all to be off. I expect I could put a function in the OnCheck property of each slider, but how do I set the value of another datacard?

Hi @DustyMac 

Do  you want to set the defaults of the dependent sliders (ie change them but still let the user make a choice) or do you want to disable them based on the choice in the first slider and prevent the user from changing them..

Here is a small video: 

If so, here are the values I have: 

1. Toggle1
   • OnCheck: Set(toggle2Default, false); Set(toggle3Default, false); Reset(Toggle2); Reset(Toggle3)
   • Default: toggle1Default
2. Toggle2
   • OnCheck: Set(toggle1Default, false); Set(toggle3Default, false); Reset(Toggle1); Reset(Toggle3)
   • Default: toggle2Default
3. Toggle3
   • OnCheck: Set(toggle1Default, false); Set(toggle2Default, false); Reset(Toggle1); Reset(Toggle2)
   • Default: toggle3Default

Let me know if this works.

My apologies @Drrickryp. When I started writing up the response, there were no replies, didn't mean to reply on top of yours. 

Thanks,

On reflection, I have been thinking it may be simpler to disable each slider based on whether either of the other two are on, since they all default to the off position. This may also be simpler.

This looks exactly like what I want, but when I implement it I get an error: "The function 'Reset' has some invalid arguments."

My bad, I wasn't clear on what was being reset. It's all good now, thanks
