| I notice that on a Maintenance form when you place strataframe controls (TextBox, Combobox, etc.) on the maintenance form, they are all disabled by default, until the Edit button is pressed.
Is there a way I can leverage that same functionality on other forms? I have a form with a bunch of comboboxes and I would like all of the comboboxes to be disabled until a choice is made from the first one. Just wondering... if not i'll use a for each loop. |

| | The controls are disabled because the business object control's their editable state. This functionality works on other forms as well, as long as the controls are bound to the business object. So, bind the controls you want to disable to the business object, and when you make your selection within the first combo box, call Edit() on the business object, which will enable the controls. FYI, if you ever need to disable that functionality, you can set the IgnoreManageUIReadOnlyState property to True on the control(s) you want to ignore the business object. You can also set the property on the business object itself, which will cause the business object to quit managing all of its bound controls.

| No problem Ricardo. That property is very useful, but many people don't know it's there.

| | I have a DevExpress calc edit control bound to the BO and it doesnt appear that the BO is managing the calc edit's editable state. Any ideas? |

| I just tested an inherited CalcEdit control bound to a business object and it was disabled and endabled properly... you might check both the control and the business object to make sure the IgnoreManageUIReadOnly state property and the ManageUIReadOnlyState property are False and True respectively.

I checked the BO and the ManageUIReadOnlyState property was set to True. I checked the CalcEdit control and couldn't find the IgnoreManageUIReadOnly state property. What do you mean inherited? |

| | He meant to say "used" not inherited. I just tested this and it is working. So you more than likely have the IgnoreManageReadonlyState property set to True and it needs to be set to False. See the property sheet image below.
