    The simplistic answer would be to set the Enabled state of the ComboBox from the other ComboBox by handling the GotFocus and LostFocus events on that ComboBox.

      You can write it in Select_Index_Change of First DropDown EX:

      protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
      DropDownList2.Enabled = false;
      }

        That doesn't solve the OP's problem.

          As Pete said, it does not help the OP with his problem. He wants to disable the combo box when it is selected, not when an item is selected...

            Note the OP is intending to do this for c# windows form application and not for ASP.NET Applications.

              you can use the Click event of the second combobox to enable/disable the first combobox

              private void comboBox2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
              {
              comboBox1.Enabled = false;
              }

                Is this event fired if the user tabs into the combobox?

                      It's a good answer. Take you long to come up with it?

                          A couple of points. 1. jQuery isn't magic. You still have to write code. 2. I know how to solve this problem. 3. You replied to the wrong person. 4. How does any of that answer help the poster answer his question?

                            Do you want to disable all comboboxes except current?

                              Please avoid textspeak on this forum. Do a favor to your keyboard (and to our eyes), use it entirely.
