Answer 1

<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!selctchr}" var="eachpet">
       <apex:column value="{!eachpet.Name}" />
       <apex:column>
            <apex:inputCheckbox value="{!eachpet.Good_with_Cats__c}" />
       </apex:column>
</apex:pageBlockTable>

Use apex:column to display it properly.

Update use this controller code. As you are not population selctchr

public class actionSupportController {
    public List < PCS_Household__c > lstQuery {get;set;}
    public List < PCS_Household__c > OnlstQuery {get;set;}
    public List < Characteristics__c > selctchr {get;set;}
    public string ID_c {get;set;}
    public string test {get;set;}
    public List < Pets_Information__c > selctpet {get;set;}
    Public Boolean Good {get;set;}

    public actionSupportController ()
    {
          query = 'SELECT ID,Good_with_Cats__c,Pet_ID__r.Gender__c,Pet_ID__r.Height__c,Pet_ID__r.Name__c,Pet_ID__r.pet__c,Pet_ID__r.Pet_Photo__c,Pet_ID__r.Status__c FROM Characteristics__c where Good_with_Cats__c=:true';
        selctchr  = database.query(query);
    }
    public void dochar() {
        string query = '';
        query = 'SELECT ID,Good_with_Cats__c,Pet_ID__r.Gender__c,Pet_ID__r.Height__c,Pet_ID__r.Name__c,Pet_ID__r.pet__c,Pet_ID__r.Pet_Photo__c,Pet_ID__r.Status__c FROM Characteristics__c where Good_with_Cats__c=:true';
        Characteristics__c obj = database.query(query);
        Good = obj.Good_with_Cats__c;
    }

    public PageReference incrementCounter() {
        string Query = '';
        Query = 'SELECT ID,Name,Household__c,Phone__c,of_Childrens__c,of_Exiting_Pets__c,Address__c,Previous_Dog__c FROM PCS_Household__c where ID=:test';
        system.debug('==Query==' + Query);
        OnlstQuery = Database.query(Query);
        system.debug('==lstQuery==' + OnlstQuery);
        return null;
    }

    public Void doSearch() {
        string Query = '';
        Query = 'SELECT ID,Name,Household__c,Phone__c,of_Childrens__c,of_Exiting_Pets__c,Address__c,Previous_Dog__c FROM PCS_Household__c where Household__c LIKE \'%' + ID_c + '%\'';
        system.debug('==Query==' + Query);
        lstQuery = Database.query(Query);
        system.debug('==lstQuery==' + lstQuery);
    }

    public void nullify() {
        lstQuery.clear();
    }

    public PageReference nextpage() {
        upsert OnlstQuery;
        return Page.cc;
    }
}

Answer 2

Tushar is correct and in addition to this you have to do couple of fixes as below in your code.

1 - In VF page your code is <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!selctchr}" var="eachpet"> but in your controller you are not populating selctchr anywhere. Similarly for this <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!selctpet}" var="eachpet">, selctpet is not updated.

2 - In your command button <apex:commandButton value="Search" action="{!doSearch}" rerender="pblck" /> you are re-rendering the block pblck. But no html element with id pblck is present in your code.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

you haven't put any element in your list that display in datatable i.e. selctchr. First you need to put values in this, may be in constructor then this value shows in Page.

Hope it clear your point.

Answer 4

@murlimano, first off, we need to check if the user has permission to "Edit" a Characteristics__c record. Even if the user has a "Create" permission and not and "Edit" permission, the user will not be able to see the checkbox as we're "Editing" an existing record (the one we queried in the updated controller). Here are a couple of things you can do:

1. Check if the user has "Edit" permission in Profile / Permission set
2. Try loading the same page with another user (System Administrator preferably)
3. If the other user is able to see the checkbox and the user you're using is not, then you need to check Profile level permissions as well as FLS for the field.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards!
