In old Vb6 there was the ComboBox.locked property which let me to show
information but inhibit the user to modify them. Consider an application
with different security level in this case different account may edit/change
values or not. My idea is

For each ctrl as controls in Form.controls
ctrl.readonly = true 'or result of account test function
next

I seach and dont find how to make it, please someone should Help me ???.
so, Who I make my own Combo Box Locked Property programmatily in VB.NET
?.


Thanks in advance

Hi,

Simply change the DropDownStyle property of the combobox to =
DropDownList.=20

HTML posts eh? Oh well... what ever...

In .Net, is the style settable at runtime? If not, the OP still needs the
Locked functionality. If the style's not settable at runtime (in VB6, it's
not, without APIs anyway), there's still a simple way to deal with the
problem. Just use 2 combos. Transfer the data and show the one that's
appropriate. Hide the other.
