How to disable a control?

[sabavno]

Hi

Is there any other methods except cbo.enabled = false
to disable a combo box.
Cause once i use cbo.enabled = false, it becomes grey and that doesn't look good on my navy color form

I mean, is there any other ways to prevent the control from being changed by the user?

THanks

Try cbo.Locked = True

This will stop them from changing it but it won't be greyed out.

Hello,

Instead of using the "enabled" method you can use the "locked" method.

cbo.locked = True

The locked method is similar to enable with a few exceptions. With locked equal to True, the field is not grey and can receive focus however the data in the field can't be modified.

If you are going to use this method to dynamically change whether a control in updatable or not, I would also use the "TabStop" method to take a diabled control out of the tab order.

cbo.TabStop = False
