Static Checkboxes?

[Foen]

The checkbox template control is really neat, but when it is associated with static data (such as reference module content) it can still be toggled. Of course this doesn't change the underlying data state, but it is unexpected behaviour.

I have modified the template_checkbox.lua code to disable state-toggling and thought I'd post it here for info.

local sourcelessvalue = false;
local sourceenabled = true;

function setState(state)
  local datavalue = 1;
	
  if state == nil or state == false or state == 0 then
    datavalue = 0;
  end
	
  if source then
    if sourceenabled then
      source.setValue(datavalue);
    end
  else
    if datavalue == 0 then
      sourcelessvalue = false;
    else
      sourcelessvalue = true;
    end
	
    update();
  end
end

and

function onInit()
  setIcon(stateicons[1].off[1]);

  if not sourceless and window.getDatabaseNode() then
    -- Get value from source node
    source = window.getDatabaseNode().createChild(getName(), "number");
    if source then
      source.onUpdate = update;
      update();
    end
    -- Disable control if node is static
    if window.getDatabaseNode().isStatic() then
      sourceenabled = false;
    end
  else
    -- Use internal value, initialize to checked if <checked /> is specified
    if checked then
      sourcelessvalue = true;
      update();
    end
  end
end

Cheers
