Gray Out Input Areas

[irasmith]

What is the 'magic' commands that need to be used in order to have some input areas on a form 'grayed out' when the form loads and only become open to user input if certain values are entered in input areas above them?

 

I've done some searching and am not hitting on the right things. I know it can be done as I've seen too many places where others are doing it. And I'd just like to get myself up to speed on how to accomplish the task.

 

Thanks a bunch

See if the Enabled property of a control is what you are looking for.

YOu can then manipulate the enabled to true or false depening if the user enters something in the field above.

Look at the ReadOnly property as well.

It would seem I was making this out to be harder than it was. I thank you very much for that very insightful suggestion as I think that is actually what I was in need of. I am just messing around right now but that seems to do the job for me.

Thanks,

Thanks for the ReadOnly reply as well and I will certainly look into that option as well.

 

Appreciate the input.

Thanks,
