Disabling item in a checkboxlist

[maboo59]

How can I disable items in a checkboxlist when page loads in the codebehind?
The list is created in the .aspx file and when user selects from a dropdownlist and page is submitted cerainn listitems are disabled based on users selection. But I don't know how to reference the items individually.

I am not sure that to disabke some items can be achived. You can though create some arraylist and addrage to them the items you need.
Then depending on the dropdown selected item you should populate the checklistbox with one arraylist.

disabke = disable
addrage = addrange

And: the array list can be created not only at run time; mean when page is loaded to the user. {"1", "2", .. "n"}

ca8msm,
Thanks alot, that was what I needed. I made some modifications to fit what I need. When user selects a from a dropdownlist and the page submits, I determine which boxes I need to disable and assign to a hidden tag the index of the first box to disable. Then on the aspx side I call the below javascript function to disable the correct boxes:
function disableMonths(){
objCtrl = document.getElementById('monthChk');
if(objCtrl == null)
{
return;
}
var i = 0;
var objItem = null;
var objItemChecked = document.getElementById('monthChk' + '_' + firstDisMonth.value);
if(objItemChecked == null)
{
return;
}
for(i = firstDisMonth.value; i < 12; i++)
{
objItem = document.getElementById('monthChk' + '_' + i);
if(objItem == null)
{
continue;
}
objItem.disabled = true;
}
}

Thanks again
