How do you show a check box, checked or unchecked when chosing from a list box
that calls a CFC. I have grid with names and when you select a name some text
fields are filled in with details about that person I want there to be
checkboxes also; but I dont know how to make it checked if the data says "yes"
or unchecked if the data says "no"? Any help would be great thanks!

Is anyone even try to use the cfforms on CF7? I see zero doc that have examples
of checkbox usage as well as radio buttons. Just the mention that you can do
this. 5 days of looking I think I have read every aritcle 4 times. Can Anyone
Help with a sample?

Thanks

Not sure if this is what you mean, but in the cfgridcolumn tag there is a
"type" property. If the column the query is referencing is a boolean, and you
set the type to boolean, it will show up as a checkbox. The checkbox will be
checked or unchecked based on the value of that field.

Thanks, but I am looking to dynamicaly show the checkbox checked or unchecked.
Call to a db filles a listbox; select a name and details get filled into a
number of cfinput type"text" boxs. I also have a bunch of checkboxs. but they
never show up checked. Here is what im doing:

<cfinvoke
component="CFC.Profiles"
method="ProfileSort"
returnvariable="ProfileSortRet">
</cfinvoke>


<cfform format="flash" name="GetUser" action="Action.cfm">

<cfformgroup type="horizontal">

<cfgrid name="User" query="ProfileSortRet" rowheaders="no" height="150"
width="150">
<cfgridcolumn name="Name" header="Name">
</cfgrid>
</cfformgroup>
<cfformgroup type="horizontal">

<cfinput type="checkbox" name="SalesRep"
bind="{User.dataProvider[User.selectedData]['salesrep']}" label="Sales Rep"
onChange="User.dataProvider.
editField(User.selectedData,
'SalesRep',
SalesRep.data);">

</cfformgroup>
</cfform>


All works great but the checkbox.

Thanks for looking

Try adding this onChange handler to your cfgrid:

onChange="SalesRep.selected=true"

Well that made the check box get checked, so thats cool. But when I select
another person the box stays checked. The SalesRep field from the DB is true or
false how can I use that to determine if the box is checked or not?
