How to Lock a CheckBox

I want to lock a CheckBox there's no .Locked property on CheckBox and I DON'T WANT TO DISABLE IT.

So if some one have hints, please Help.

Hi MageMinds,

Assuming that you don't want to make it invisible, you can try this code:

Code:

---

Check1.Value = 0

---

in the click event of the check box. This will always keep it unchecked. Change 0 above to 1 if you always want it checked. However, it's neater to manipulate the check box by disabling or enabling it. But you don't want to do that for some reason. :confused:

Hope this helps.

I have tried to set the NOT value on the CLick Event but when I change it at Run Time the Click event is trigged, well I run Stack Overflow.

The CheckBoxes doesn't have always the same value, values are from a Database.

Try this:

Code:

---

Option Explicit
Private blDoneCheck As Boolean
Private blWanttoLock As Boolean

Private Sub Form_Load()
    blWanttoLock = False
End Sub

Private Sub Check1_Click()
    If blWanttoLock = True Then
        If blDoneCheck = True Then
            blDoneCheck = False
            Exit Sub
        End If
       
        If Check1.Value = 0 Then
            blDoneCheck = True
            Check1.Value = 1
        Else
            blDoneCheck = True
            Check1.Value = 0
        End If
    End If
End Sub

---

You need to have something like "blDoneCheck" because if you
do check1.value = 0 it fires the Check1_Click event again and it will loop eternelly... ;)

Thanks a lot ... I was looking for an API to do the job but it's working fine ...
