Here's what I would like to do:

var f = this.getField("checkBoxField");
f.onMouseUp(); // But there's no such function

How to programmatically trigger MouseUp event on a checkbox field?

Thank you.

If you want something to happen when a checkbox is checked you could use the isBoxChecked() method. Below is an example of a script attached to the Mouse Up trigger of the checkbox action that executes a JavaScript as the action. If the check box has not been checked then it's fill color is yellow but if it is checked then the fill color goes transparent.

var myChk = getField("Chk.HighlightMe");
if(myChk.isBoxChecked(0))
{
myChk.fillColor = color.transparent; //You could put something else between the curly braces.
}
else
{
myChk.fillColor = color.yellow;
}

Thank you for your answer.

What I need is really calling the MouseUp method from the checkbox or triggering the event, so the related "Action" which is linked to the MouseUp event will be launch (in my this case a layer is shown).
