Stupid question...textbox.enabled=true [EVEN MORE RESOLVED]

[milkmood]

The textbox's default property is set to disabled, a button click is supposed to enable it but it's not. I've been able to do it just fine in others...what the heck am I missing?

[milkmood]

Nevermind...I was trying to do:
textbox.enabled = True

I should have been doing:
textbox.ReadOnly = False

Which works.

Now I need to figure out how to make ReadOnly=True again if the user decides to go do something else, besides the button click that was intended to be used after modifying the readonly box...hmmm.

Hi,

Use the lostfocus event of the textbox to set the textbox.readonly = true. If they don't use it, they lose it.

Ah, so, they'll learn quickly to fill in that box first after the button click that sets readonly to false.

I have a habit of that...I just need to think/explore more before I ask simple questions.
