Checkboxes stuck visible

[Ryan Joachim]

I have all the checkboxes set to not be visible (I unchecked that box on the design screen). With how I have my blocks (in picture), all the checkboxes are currently visible.

Do I need to have an "else if tagFromWebDB=blank then set checkbox1.visible=false" on each checkbox?

[SteveJG]

when checkbox1 is true, checkbox is supposed to be false    and when checkbox1 is false checkbox2 is supposed to be true?    You got to tell the check boxes what to do.

See the tutorial at      https://appinventorforfun.wordpress.com/2015/03/02/cq-de-ai2-morse-code-tutorial/        for a way to use check boxes as a group box array. Find the link to the pdf then look for the discussion of the six red check boxes.

what about setting all checkboxes to visible = false first?

Thanks for the link Steve - I'll take a look at it.

Taifun - I tried setting "checkbox1.visible to false" when the app initializes, but it didn't change anything.

that sounds like there is some kind of error in your blocks...

do you like to provide a screenshot of these blocks?

Ryan... Just set all of those checkboxes invisible in the properties window... you don't need to do all of those blocks to start them off invisible.

I did, Enis. That was the first thing I did when I created each checkbox.

At this point I might just delete them all, remove all the blocks related to them, and just start from scratch.
