Hi,

I have to two option buttons in a group box. After checking one of those values, I do not want the user to change it.SO, I want to disable it but with feel of normal appearance like 'read only' mode.

I tried the following, but, I am losing the checked state and its totally looking like disabled. Please help me here ASAP.

CtlRankingSessions1.uosAssignSchedule.CheckedIndex = 1 

Dim bkClr, foreClr As System.Drawing.Color                                

bkClr = CtlRankingSessions1.uosAssignSchedule.ItemAppearance.BackColorDisabled

foreClr = CtlRankingSessions1.uosAssignSchedule.ItemAppearance.ForeColorDisabled    

CtlRankingSessions1.uosAssignSchedule.Enabled = False

CtlRankingSessions1.uosAssignSchedule.ItemAppearance.BackColorDisabled = bkClr                                 CtlRankingSessions1.uosAssignSchedule.ItemAppearance.ForeColorDisabled = foreClr

Thanks in advance!

Thank you Mike,.. It Works Good.

Thank u very Much.

Thank You Georgi..

Very Helpful..

Thank you Very Much.

To change the appearance of the items when the control is disabled. you can use the ItemAppearance.BackColorDisabled and ForeColorDisabled. Just set these properties to the same colors the control is using when it's enabled.

Hi again,

The control does not have property "ReadOnly", but I suggest you to use property "Enable= false" and also to change the control appearance to be more visible for the users.

Regards

Georgi
