Good Morning Carl,

I'll have a look into it and see what I can discover.

What type of element were you using a check box, a text box, or something else?

-Ray

Ray,

Have you found out anything about this topic?

I've been thinking that Sesame's Boolean text fields were "tri-state" like a check box. But after checking the manuals, I notice that they only mention tri-state in reference to check boxes.

I just did a little testing, and it does appear that only check boxes have this ability. Was that the plan?

It would seem to me that since both types of layout elements use a Boolean field to store their values, that they would both behave in a similar manner when queried by @IsBlank(). And if the field for a check box can be blank, that must mean that it can be blank for a Yes/No text box as well. Is that correct logic, or am I going down the wrong road here?

Like I mentioned in an ealier post, I solved my problem with this topic simply by changing the field type to text. I just wanted to know if this is something that I should report for the sake of making sure Sesame is funtioning as the development team intended.

@IsClear the same as @IsBlank?

Thanks

No need. Its has already been written up and is in my in-box.

Hello CapitalG,

Is your element a checkbox, or a text element bound to a boolean field?

-Ben

CapitalG,

Normally a checkbox will not display the "ÿ" character.
Are you seeing the character in tableview, or on the form?

If you are on Windows it is likely that you do not have the "Wingdings" font installed. If you are on Linux, you are probably missing the "zapf dingbats" font. If you are certain that you have the appropriate font for your system, there is likely some reason that Sesame cannot get to, or use, that font.
