ReadOnly Radio Button?

[rich_wenger]

Hi, Anybody have any ideas on how to best emulate a 'ReadOnly' capability for a radio button? Any help greatly appreciated.

I'm doing that already. Looks like sh*t.

Your problem statement is not clear. Can you explain it a bit more ?

Hi, Thanks for your interest. I have a data application in which some boolean choices as represented by radio button pairs and at certain points in the application I am representing the data to the user in ReadOnly TextBoxes where applicable. I would like to emulate this functionality in a representation of the RadioButton and am looking for a path of least resistance to accomplish this task. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Change the font color back to black after disabling the button?

I've taken a different approach by building my own custom control that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.RadioButton NameSpace. I'm using GDI+ to alter the presentation of the interface based off a boolean public property I've exposed called 'ReadOnly'. I'm still trying to workout how to cancel 'Click' the click event. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can stop the click Event by overriding the OnClick method in RadioButton class and Removing the call to the base class. like: protected override void OnClick(System.EventArgs e) { //base.OnClick (e); } -- modified at 12:27 Monday 14th November, 2005

Hi, and thanks for your interest. I tried your suggestion but when I tried to build the control I received an error 'RadioButtonRocLib.RadioButtonRoc.onclick(System.EventArgs)': no suitable method found to override".

correct code is: protected override void OnClick(System.EventArgs e) { //base.OnClick(e); } Here 'OnClick''s 'O' and 'C' character should be in upper case. I don't know why it is not shown correctly.
