CheckBoxList Enabled?

[Tim]

Is there a way to only disable the check box but not the text in a
CheckBoxList?

cblCheckBoxList.Enabled = false will gray out the box and the text
associated with the box.

I would only like the box to be disabled so the user can easily read
the text.

Any help would be appreciated.

hi Tim,

In general, the purpose of grayed out text is so that the user themselves can identify that the control is disabled, and are not confused as to why the control
is not responding towards their selection. but to answer your question, the best workaround is to not put text values for each item in the checkbox list but
instead use labels to indicate the value of each check box. This way when you disble the Checkbox list, you are not disabling the Labels as well

Hope that helps,

Michelle
