Qn: Checkbox Enable??

[Michael Vaughan]

Hello Everyone,

I have an checkbox option in my userform. How do I get it to blank or GRAY
out a TextBox area when the box is checked?? I saw a sample of how to
UNBLANK a textbox with the enable feature, but I need the opposite. What is
the opposite of enable?

a..
1.. Insert the following statement as the body of the new chkMonth_Click
procedure:
b.. txtMonth.Enabled = chkMonth.Value
c.. This statement will enable the text box whenever the check box is
selected, and disable the text box whenever the check box is cleared.

Enable is either true or false. The opposite of enabled = True is enabled =
False

you item b seems to do that already.

If you want it to operate opposite of the checkbox status then

txtMonth.Enabled = not chkMonth.Value

Hi Tom,

Well, I put in the "txtMonth.Enabled = not chkMonth.Value" and the chkMonth
Box does NOT gray out when I check the box. Am I doing something wrong?? I
want an input box of txtMonth to gray out when I check the checkbox
chkMonth.

Thanks for all your help... mv

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
TextBox1.Enabled = Not CheckBox1.Value
End Sub

worked fine for me. There was no visible change to the textbox, but I
couldn't enter the textbox and enter a value when the checkbox was checked.

Are you using ActiveX controls or controls from the forms toolbar?


If activeX,
you can get some visual feedback with

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
TextBox1.Enabled = Not CheckBox1.Value
If CheckBox1.Value Then
TextBox1.SpecialEffect = fmSpecialEffectFlat
Else
TextBox1.SpecialEffect = fmSpecialEffectSunken
End If
End Sub

or you can set the backcolor to gray.
