How to Lock a CheckBox

[MageMinds]

I want to lock a CheckBox there's no .Locked property on CheckBox and I DON'T WANT TO DISABLE IT.

So if some one have hints, please Help.

Hi MageMinds,

Assuming that you don't want to make it invisible, you can try this code:

Check1.Value = 0

in the click event of the check box. This will always keep it unchecked. Change 0 above to 1 if you always want it checked. However, it's neater to manipulate the check box by disabling or enabling it. But you don't want to do that for some reason.

Hope this helps.

I have tried to set the NOT value on the CLick Event but when I change it at Run Time the Click event is trigged, well I run Stack Overflow.

The CheckBoxes doesn't have always the same value, values are from a Database.

Try this:

Option Explicit
Private blDoneCheck As Boolean
Private blWanttoLock As Boolean

Private Sub Form_Load()
    blWanttoLock = False
End Sub

Private Sub Check1_Click()
    If blWanttoLock = True Then
        If blDoneCheck = True Then
            blDoneCheck = False
            Exit Sub
        End If
        
        If Check1.Value = 0 Then
            blDoneCheck = True
            Check1.Value = 1
        Else
            blDoneCheck = True
            Check1.Value = 0
        End If
    End If
End Sub

You need to have something like "blDoneCheck" because if you
do check1.value = 0 it fires the Check1_Click event again and it will loop eternelly...
