Is there any way to change the enabled property of a dropdownlist without a
postback, depending on the selection in another dropdownlist?
Select Case ddlReport.SelectedValue
Case "Profit"
ddlFormat.Enabled = True
Case "Trial Balance"
ddlFormat.Enabled = False
End Select

No
I assume that it's possible to disable another control using
JScript/VBScript without a postback, but that's slightly off-topic here.

Geoff,
It sounds like you are talking ASP.NET.
As Herfried suggests. If you want to do it server side, then you need to do
a postback. If you don't want a postback, then you will have to do it client
side with JavaScript or VBScript.
For help with client side JavaScript & VBScript you may want to ask this
"down the hall" in one of the microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet
newsgroups.
Hope this helps

Geoff,
Although you have two answers from VBNet ASPNET experts who denies my answer
to you, my answer stays No.
This can be the information created in a webform page at client side, which
contains all information of the data in the serverside controls (from which
the dropdownlist is one) on your page.
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE"
value="dDw5MzcwNzM4OTU7Oz6sJm5Bgc+8ub9mK/REAxFYaxmlmQ==" />
I knew lot of JavaScript, however I do not know how to change this in a way
that I could assure that the information stays consistent.

That comment doesn't even warrant a response!
however I do not know how to change this in a way that I could assure that

You can turn off the ViewState for selected controls or all controls using
the Control.EnableViewState which DropDownList inherits.
The Page directive also has EnableViewState attribute.
Hope this helps

Jay, You can turn off the ViewState for selected controls or all controls using
the Control.EnableViewState which DropDownList inherits.
You are right, and have with that given the direct answer for this question.
By setting the ViewState to False it should be pretty easy for everybody who
knows a little bit of JavaScript,
So my answer becomes Yes.

Geoff,
I was thinking a lot more in your question than there probably is, when it
is as simple as you ask is can be this a piece of JavaScript, however with
that is in my opinion still the data in the box with a postback sent back to
the server side ass well as the the selectedindex. When you want to affect
that you should do more using that viewstate enabled is false.
You can put a HTML button on your form to test it
<script language=javascript>
<!--
function Button1_onclick() {
if (document.all("DropDownList1").disabled == false) {
document.all("DropDownList1").disabled = true}
else
{
document.all("Dropdownlist1").disabled = false}
}
//-->
</script>
When you want to integrate it in VBNet you can use
Dim scriptString As String = "The script including javatags"
Page.RegisterStartupScript("Button1_OnClick", scriptString)

The Page directive also has EnableViewState attribute.
But the user should beware that events will go wonky if you do either
of these. If you really want a dropDownList that reacts reasonably to
client-side disabling then one's best bet is to derive a class from
DropDownList and do the work yourself. You could probably achieve this
with a few very minor overrides, but I haven't looked at it in detail.
Of course, this is all probably way beyond what the original poster was
asking. On the other hand, all this is likely to bite him pretty soon. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
