AnyLogic - make many edit boxes visible depending on variable

Here is a simplified example of my problem: enter image description here

I want to make the edit box 1 or 2 visible, depending on whether a checkbox of box 1 or box 2 is checked. The variables "variableCheckbox1" and "variableCheckbox2" are connected to the respective ceckboxes.

I have written a function as shown in the picture. The function is called from the EditBox 1 ("Enabled"). This is a possible solution for ONE box each.

Does anyone have an idea if there is a more elegant way to do this for a very high number of checkboxes / edit boxes? A possible solution would be to write a function with a switch case for each variable in my model, called from each box. A very inelegant solution would be to make a single function for each box, but I don't consider that a good way.

Solution

  • If you want this for a large number, turn the entire setup into its own agent type: Checkbox and editbox. Instantiate as needed, you can add a parameter to specify what this is about exactly...

    This would be the most generic and powerful approach...
