Problem disabling and enabling an inputField

I have a visualforce page that is used to get customer information. I want the form to disable an inputField that asks for the customers age if the customer checks the Do Not Disclose box. I have been unable to get this to work unless I use an inputText box and set it to a string variable.

 

Controller Code:

 

 

 public string age         { get; set; }       
 public boolean disclose   { get; set; }
 public boolean disable    { get; set; }
 public void doDisable() {                                                        
      
     if(disclose == true)                                
           disable = true;               
      
     if(disclose == false)                
           disable = false;                   

 } 


 


 


VisualForce Page:


 


 


<apex:pageBlock id="agedisable" mode="edit"> 
                    
  <apex:actionRegion >
                         
    <apex:inputText value="{!age}" disabled="{!disable}"/>                          
    <apex:inputCheckbox value="{!disclose}">
        <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" action="{!doDisable}" reRender="agedisable"/>                              
    </apex:inputCheckbox> 
                    
  </apex:actionRegion>
                
</apex:pageBlock>


 


 


 


 I want to be able to use an inputField instead of an inputText field but when I try to disable an inputField or an inputText field set to an integer variable it will disable when I check the inputCheckbox but when I uncheck it, it remains disabled.


 


Also, when I have the age field set to string and it is able to disable and enable properly, once I check the checkbox the formatting of my page changes and a large space shows up between the checkbox field and the next field in my form. Is there a way to avoid this?

I have another idea.dont  know works for you or not.
Use output panel to show inputText field and inputField when you check the check box.
something like this....
 
<apex:actionRegion >

<apex:outputPanel id="p1"  rendered="{!panel1}">
<apex:inputText value="{!Name}" disabled="{!disable}"/>
</apex:outputPanel>

<apex:outputPanel rendered="{!panel2}">
 <apex:inputField value="{!Name}"/>                          
 </apex:outputPanel>
 
 <apex:inputCheckbox value="{!disclose}">
 <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" action="{!doDisable}" reRender="agedisable"/>                              
 </apex:inputCheckbox>
                    
  </apex:actionRegion>

Find below a sample code :


 


           
VF CODE:


           
<apex:page controller="disableInputField">


                               
<apex:form >


                                               
<apex:actionFunction
action="{!disableCloseDateInput}" rerender="oppName"/>


                                               
<apex:actionFunction
action="{!enableCloseDateInput}" rerender="oppName"/>


 


                                               
<apex:inputCheckbox/>
<b>Disable inputField</b><br/>


                                               
 <apex:inputCheckbox
onclick="actinFunc2()"/> <b>Enable
inputField</b><br/><br/>


 


                          
Opportunity Name:


                               
<apex:outputPanel>


                               
<apex:inputField value="{!opp.CloseDate}"
required="false"/>


                               
<script>document.getElementById('{!$Component.oppNameInput}').disabled =
{!disableInput}; </script>


                               
</apex:outputPanel>


               
</apex:form>


          
</apex:page>


 


          
Controller code:


                               
   public class disableInputField {


                                               
public Opportunity opp {get; set;}


                                               
public Boolean disableInput {get; set;}


                                               
public disableInputField(){


                                                               
opp = new Opportunity();


                                               
}


                                               
public void disableCloseDateInput(){


                                                               
disableInput = true;


                                               
}


                                               
public void enableCloseDateInput(){


                                                               
disableInput = false;


                                               
}


           
}
