set(handles.ions_dir, 'Enable', 'off')

i tried that, doesnt work

[Andy]

one question, where should i put it? i am putting it under the call back function of the radio button

[Oleg Komarov]

Doesn't works doesn't say much. What you mean, do you get an error?

[Andy]

problem is right now when i click on that radio button, it doesnt run the call back function. why is this?

You should be able to have that line in the callback of a radio button. It should work - just remember that at some point you need to turn 'Enable' back 'on' if you ever want people to type in that edit text field again.

my problem right now is that when i click on the radio button, it doesnt run the call back function for the radio button

[Oleg Komarov]

With that much info you gave us it would be impossible to guess what calls what.

I suggest to place a break point in the callback to see if it's called.
