Cleaner Code

ok here is what I do have:

Code:

---

'Disable TextBox1 and change background color
If CheckBox2.Checked = True Then TextBox1.Enabled = False
If CheckBox2.Checked = True Then TextBox1.BackColor = system.Drawing.SystemColors.Control

---

why can't I do something like so???

Code:

---

'Disable TextBox1 and change background color
If CheckBox2.Checked = True Then TextBox1.Enabled = False and TextBox1.BackColor = system.Drawing.SystemColors.Control

---

I have tried replacing the and with "then" but that doesnt seem to work... I keep getting the blue underline with errors....

Any ideas?

Try this

VB Code:

If CheckBox2.Checked = True Then 
   TextBox1.Enabled = False
   TextBox1.BackColor = system.Drawing.SystemColors.Control
EndIf

You need to use an If...End If block

VB Code:

If CheckBox2.Checked = True Then
     TextBox1.Enabled = False
     TextBox1.BackColor = system.Drawing.SystemColors.Control
End If

And DevGrp beats me again.

Since in both lines you're checking for the same thing, why not use a block If...End If? Can't get much cleaner than that. Besides, single line If's are hell to read (IMO)
