"Protect" or Disable Editing of A WebcontrolI hope somebody can make a hero out of me before tomorrow! Let's say I
have a web page with a couple of textboxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, etc. User fills in some data, clicks submit, and off it goes. Tomorrow, someone else retrieves that page with the data. I want the second user to see what looks like the same page, with the data now filled in, but with the data fields locked so that they can't be edited. I remember the old VB 6 Windows Form controls enable property would enable editing. The enable property on a web control, however, has a whole 'nuther use. I already have a control that allows me to identify the specific controls I want to lock (and later unlock under certain circumstances), but I have no clue how to actually do the locking. Can somebody offer a hint? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Randy myTextField.ReadOnly = true;

Wish there were. Or are you
suggesting something else? Thanks. Randy Oops. OK, well there's such a thing for a TextBox but I need to do the
same thing for checkboxes, radiobuttons, even dropdown lists and listboxes. I think I can create a style sheet property that makes the various controls LOOK like they aren't editable, but I need them to be actually protected, read only, what have you. It'd be a little ugly, but you can use javascript, or you can use a bitmap
instead of, say, a true checkbox... I've seen it done both ways, and each has drawbacks...

That's what I feel
like right now... "If I only had a brain." 10 minutes ago, I would have swon by anything you like that the Enabled property had to do with whether a control's value was recorded in the ViewState array. I don't know where I get these crazy ideas. Thank you for setting me straight. RAndy My Pleasure.
