Disable the 'ok' button - Forms application

Dear list,

I have a smartphone Forms application built using C#. When I display the
Form I would like the 'ok' button which resides at the top right of the
screen to be disabled, so the user cant exit the application without setting
some value first.

Is there any way to disable the 'ok' button and then re-enable it?

Thanks for any tips,

Cheers,
David

Set the Enabled property to false initially. When you want to enable the
button, set it to true.

HTH,


Sounds good, but where is the 'ok' button in the Form Properties? Or what is
the 'ok' button called in C# Forms? Sorry, I know its probably a simple
question but I'm new to C# and .NET forms.

Thanks,
David

Hi,

Not sure if this apply to smartphone ( it does to PPC ) but you can set the
ControlBox property to false. Also check the Maximixe/Minimixe box


btw, there is a NG for compactframewor k, you will get better answers there.

Form Properties? What development software are you using?

Hi,

In a PocketPC or a Smartphone app you get either a "Ok" or a "X" in the top
right corner of your window, where the controlBox is for desktop apps.

Ah, in that case, he just needs to set the ControlBox property to false.

Call this function from the Page_OnLoad event of your asp.net page. This will prevent the user from doing multiple post backs or button clicks. This was designed to not disable the button, because asp.net 1.x will not pick up the button click event. Instead, it monitors the on submit event of the form and the _doPostBack event of the asp.net page. It overrides the _doPostBack and onsubmit events and checks whether the page has already...

please help, i'm trying to find a simple & easy way of enabling & disabling (generally making them readonly) most of the controls in my form. Cuz i want to create a form, for the user but only a readonly form (with no write access). But i cannot find any easy way of doing this, i've tried using the OnEnabledChanged() event, & exposing such other custom events.

I am wondering if there is a way to disable the "X" used to close the Access application window? I know how to disable it for individual forms, but I would like to disable it for the application in general and force users to use a button on the switchboard to close (because I run important code on the close of the database from that button). Any ideas are always appreciated. Thanks!
