Refer to block item using string

[Nick]

I have a form that has several check boxes defaulting to checked.
When the form loads, I have a cursor looping through a table that
stores the name of the check boxes that need to be unchecked. The
cursor will return the item's name into a varchar2 variable. I need
to know now how to use that varchar2 variable to refer to the
corresponding check box item and uncheck it. I have done something
similiar in VB but have not found a way to do this in pl sql.

Thank you in advance.

Re: Refer to block item using string

you probably need to use the copy function or the set_*_property function

as i recall it's something like this:

copy( 'a value', 'an item name');

set_checkbox_pr operty( 'cb item name', 'properry name', 'value')

againg, i'm going by memory -- it's been over a year so i may not quite have
the syntax just right

function to modify the initial value. but i can not seem to find the
correct property name for initial value. anyone know it?
