If I have controls on the form that are not bound to any data but I want them to disable when I enter an editing mode how would I do that? Because I see not way to modify or add to the event handlers for the buttons on the toolstrip.<br> <br> After some looking here is how I answered my own question... just want to make sure this is the "best practices" solution.<br> <br> [quote]<br> Private Sub CustomersBO1_EditingStateChanged(ByVal e As MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.EditingStateChangedEventArgs) Handles CustomersBO1.EditingStateChanged<br> Select Case e.EditingState<br> Case MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessEditingState.Adding, MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessEditingState.Editing<br> Me.btnSearch.Enabled = False<br> Me.txtSearch.Enabled = False<br> <br> Case MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessEditingState.Idle<br> Me.btnSearch.Enabled = True<br> Me.txtSearch.Enabled = True<br> <br> End Select<br> End Sub<br> [/quote]<br> <br> P.S. any idea why my quote tag didnt work?Mon, 18 Sep 2006 15:16:36 GMTStarkMikehttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost2894.aspx[quote]If I have controls on the form that are not bound to any data but I want them to disable when I enter an editing mode how would I do that?[/quote]</P><P>This is not tied to the MaintenanceFormToolstrip, it is tied to a business object.&nbsp; The maintenance form toolstrip just works through the integrity of the framework, so an Add just calls the Add() on the form, which in turn calls the Add() on a business object.</P><P>All you need to do is capture the EditingStateChanged event of a business object and place your code there.</P><P>As for you quote not working, I don't know.&nbsp; I will have to look into it later.&nbsp; Thanks. :)Mon, 18 Sep 2006 15:16:36 GMTTrent L.
