disable items in CheckBoxList

[sql]

Hi all,
I am using a CheckBoxList control on my aspx page that I bind to an array
at runtime. After I databind it, I check two of the items in the
CheckBoxList controls. Now I also need to disable these two items so that
users can't uncheck them. But I don't know how to disable individual items.
Can you please help me achieving this(preferably at runtime)?

Thanks in advance.

I am sure that this can be improved upon, but here is something that works.
To test the code out (listed below), simply add a CheckBoxList control to a
web form (name = "clb") and add the code below to the Page_Load event. When
you run the form, there will be 4 items which start out as unchecked. When
you click on an item, it will become checked and you will not be able to
uncheck it. This should give you a base to work from.

HTH,
Jody
