Disable Property in Custom Control

[bebandit]

I have two properties in a custom control, SizeLimit(boolean) and SizeLimitSize(integer).

I need to know how to disable the property SizeLimitSize if SizeLimit is False and Activate it if SizeLimit=true.

Thanks,
Bebandit

Hi.

You can't disable it, but you can control wether the value is accepted.

Something like this:

Public Property SizeLimitSize As Integer
    Get
        Return MySizeLimitSize
    End Get
    Set (Value as Integer)
        If SizeLimit=True Then
            MySizeLimit=Value
        Else
            Throw New Exception("Value can only be set if SizeLimit is True.")
        End If
    End Set
End Property

That is what I was looking for....
I am not sure how you would gray it out all together but this should work great. Thanks!!!

Not unless you inherit from the textbox, and override the Text property.

The above example was designed to be used within usercontrols.

Sorry...
