P.S. where do you find these specifiers such as SetReadOnly??<br />

 &nbsp;If using VC, pull up&quot;help&quot; then &quot;search&quot;. &nbsp;In this case CEdit or edit control is what you should look for. &nbsp;In the bottom pane look for an entry that says &quot;class members&quot;. &nbsp;You'll access all kinds of great info for that control. &nbsp;As a bonus, all the standard controls are derived from CWnd, so many CWnd functions are usable on the control as well!<br />

I recently learned how to disable a CButton control prior to opening a modal dialog box with the following code:<br />
<br />
CButton *cb = (CButton *)GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON); <br />
cb-&gt;EnableWindow(FALSE); <br />
<br />
I want to do something similar now. &nbsp;What do I do if I want to make an edit control read only prior to opening the dialog box?

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
