Deselecting TextBoxs via by checking on the menu toolbar

[superracerx]

Hey folks,

I am new to the VB world; I have a form setup where it has 3 textboxs used to enter values to calculate financial things. I have the same selection of the textboxs on the menu bar. If I select it on the menu bar, it is supposed to prevent me from entering any relevent information in the textbox. I know I have to use If..Then statement in the code box and check feature. How do I go around in the design aspect? Thanxs in advance for the Help .

Here is some code you can use. You can add the code for the 3rd TextBox and menu item. BTW, my menu items are sub-menus so that they can show check marks that indicate when the associated textbox is enabaled.

Private Sub mnuTB1_Click()

    ' Change the Enabled property each time the menu
    ' item is clicked
    Text1.Enabled = Not Text1.Enabled
    ' Set the Checked property of the menu item to
    ' Checked in Text1 is enabled, otherwise set it
    ' to not checked.
    mnuTB1.Checked = Text1.Enabled
    
End Sub


Private Sub mnuTB2_Click()

    Text2.Enabled = Not Text2.Enabled
    mnuTB2.Checked = Text2.Enabled

End Sub
