Hi,

How to set text box control read only programmatically using c sharp.

Hi,

It is not possible for Infopath controls.

Hi,

I am using Infopath 2007 OM.

I am selecting control using xpathnavigator it gives CanEdit property,using this can i make it read only?

Hi

CanEdit property is a read only property you cannot set it. 

Set it in design mode.

then thier is no way to make text box read only programmatically?

Hi,

There is a workaround solution for your requirement. You put one text box on the form. add one more node in the datasource but do not include it on the screen. (name it as my:MakeREADONLY) this will work as a flag for making the first control read only. Now add conditional formatting on first control that if the flag is true then make it read only/disable.

Programatically you set the value of the flag field to TRUE as per your requirement.

XPathNavigator ReadOnlyNav = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:MakeREADONLY", NamespaceManager);

ReadOnlyNav.SetValue("1");

Hope it will solve your problem.
