LOCK BUT ENABLE A CHECK BOX ?!?!

[Judai]

Hello,

I want a check box 2 B visible, that is - not dimmed out, but still 2 keep it locked for changes.
If I enable it, it is exposed 2 changes, if I disable it, it is dim !!!!

Any suggestions guys?

Thanks.

Place in a frame and disable the frame.

Good Luck

Add this to your code


dim fIgnoreInput as boolean

' If the flag is TRUE then whatever is typed the textbox will ingore.
private sub Textbox1.keypress (keyascii as integer)
If fIgnoreInput then keyascii=0
end sub


Have fun ...

Just set the CheckBox.Value to what you want in the Click event;

If it is to be always checked:

Private Sub Check1_Click
Check1.Value = vbChecked
End Sub

If you need to set it in code elsewhere, just set up a Public Long to store it's value and then refer the Click event to that variable.

Public IsChecked as Long
....

Private Sub Check1_Click
Check1.Value = IsChecked
End Sub

Another procedure will set the value:
...
Check1.Value = vbChecked
isChecked = vbChecked

The values available are:
vbChecked
vbUnchecked
vbGrayed Let me know if this helps

Thank U all...

U guys R great.

So, 1 by 1:
Vb5prgrmr: this works rather nice, I found it useful.
vemix: I have a problem with your code, besides the fact that it is 4 a Textbox, the "Textbox1.keypress" (dot) in between the two definitions seems 2 pose a problem, what did U mean?
johnwm: the "10 kinds of sexes U were talkin about...", well, the can all B undone from their first state, HOW DO I USE THE GREYED STATE BUT STILL PREVENT THE USER FROM CHANGING IT'S CURRENT STATE? THE FRAME IDEA FROM Vb5prgrmr seems 2 work quite well...!?!
vemix: no harm done, thanks anyways...


THANK U ALL 4 YOUR TIME & HELP...
