[newssis]

Hi ,

I have text box in the C# application form.

I would like to have it gray out for everything other than new entry.

How can i set up properties like that?

Please help?

thanks

What exactly to you mean by "grayed out"? Do you want the textbox disabled? The background gray? The font of the text in the textbox to be gray?

If you choose to battle wits with the witless be prepared to lose.

Once the data has been entered, validated and saved, set the TextBox Enabled property to false.

myTextBox.enabled = false;

but it will be user application. How i know that data has been saved or not

i keep want user to see data but cannot change it. Only new entry needs to have textbox enabled.

thanks

You need to look at the code, and decide where to enable/disable the text box.

Are you using Visual Studio? Step-through the code as it works now, and see when the text box is initialised, and when it is validated, and when the record is saved.

From there you can begin to decide where to add the code to enable/disable the text box.
