Hilary - this is a super cool idea! I will keep it in mine to use sometime. Doreen

I stumbled upon this thread looking for how to programmatically set a checkbox to true (checked), to switch a view.

I select the button then set the font in the ribbon, just like any other control. For the checkmark, I used a character font - can't remember which one off hand, but it was probably a Wingding font. For the other button, I just set the font color to white. :-)

Hilary Stoupa:
We had a little email exchange on this, but I figured I'd update the thread as well. To the best of my knowledge, it is not possible to switch views on a field change (unless you use a context changed event). But you could use buttons that look like a checkbox. Attaching a sample.

Hilary,

How does it happen that letters in "Label:" of button on View1 are not shown at all while letter P of button label on View2 is shown as check mark?

I could have imagined that it is symbol of a chosen font but the font used (Calibri) doesn't have such symbols (I tried to type with it in MS Word 2010) as well as list box (Page Design, on ribbon > Properties > Text Settings > ) Apply Settings to: does not contain a button amongst available choices for applying a font.

Again,

How to suppress a label of a button and show check mark as a label?

How to change font setting of a button's label?

Hi,

Do you want to change the view when user selects the check box? Add an on after change event and write the below code.

if(checkboxValue)

{

thisXDocument.View.SwitchView(ViewName);

}

I need to change a view when a user selects a check box. I knew this was available when opening a form, or pressing a button, but it doesn't appear to be available when changing a normal field.

I'd rather not use conditional formatting on a section, as there's multiple transitions this form goes through and I don't want to deal with that many options.
