    Resolved [RESOLVED] Locking some list items

    Is it possible to disable certain items of a listbox instead of just the whole control? especially when its style is set to checkbox.

    It is all or nothing.

    Exactly what do you need to do. Perhaps we can come up with a suitable work around.

    I'm just using two listboxes to display different categories in a couple of forms, one using checkbox style and which is being used to choose the categories to display, and the other is used to show, add, edit and delete them.

    I'd like to disable the items which aren't yet defined, but I don't really need to do so.

    What do you mean by "defined"?

    The categories are fully configurable, and are by default empty, so instead of showing nothing when they are not set I want them to be shown on list as something like "-- Not yet defined --".

    How is the listbox loaded?

    What is your code?

    You can decide if they are (not)"defined" when Click event fires and simply prompt the user.
    Use [CODE] tags and rate useful posts

    VB: MSDN VBnet DevX vbAccelerator
    DB: W3Schools SQL TechOnTheNet's Oracle/PLSQL ConnectionStrings
    Misc (IT): Use XP look (manifest) in your apps (sample) MZ-Tools (free and cool VB add-in) Deploy your apps with Inno Setup
    Misc: Zeitgeist Movie

    ... so make the best of this test and don't ask why, it's not a question, but a lesson learned in time...

    He wouldn't necessarily even need to do that.

    Depending on how he is adding the items to the listbox, he can append "--Not Defined--" to the items so that they show in the listbox already labeled.

    Well, I already do so. What I'd like is that those list items are disabled (just if possible). Using something like the click event makes the checkboxes change for a brief moment.

    I've anyway just found out about the itemcheck event, that can be used for this. Never tried it before.

    Out of curiosity, were you thinking of some other method? I'm always grateful to hear different methods for a same thing.
