Hello,

I want to dim a calculateButton in my program but I can't figure out
how to or where to put the code. My program must check that the
quantityTextBox.Text, titleTextBox.Text and dvdRadioButton.Checked or
vhsRadioButton.Checked have valid input before allowing the user to
calculate. I want to dim this button until all those items have been
checked but I can't figure out how. Any help would be appreciated.

Is that some kind of joke?

If not, try calculateButton.Enabled = False
And just put it everywhere to make the chance that it gets done as high as
possible?

If lazy, recheck the validity of all values in an event handler that gets
invoked on every action and re-enable the button if true
If not lazy, think of something yourself

Else (yes that is to the first if)
Ok I admit it's somewhat funny

No it's not a joke, I'm just in the forth week of an online class with
little direction except the book. Thanks, I will try that.

Have you looked at microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb?

Hey don't post to this NG about VB.Net. They are kind of stuck-up about
anything concerning MS. The NG is poisoned that way.

You should post any future questions about VB.Net to
MS.Public.dotnet.freamwork.vb at msnews.microsoft.com, which you can
reach via a browser or a newsgroup reader.

You'll get the respect there that you deserve, as the chumps in this NG
wouldn't help you if their life dependent upon it.

Why not? It's no less topical than C or Lithp or F# or Perl (and no more
topical either).

That's inevitable in any newsgroup. Nevertheless, that isn't the reason he
or she has been redirected to a VB group. The reason for that redirection
is that a VB group is more likely to be able to answer her question
quickly and accurately, so it is her own interest to ask VB-specific
questions in such a group.

Well, it's topical that way.

Sure about that?

Don't forget comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32

But not everyone in this newsgroup is a chump, and not everyone agrees with
your reasoning about why we redirect specific language questions to
specific language groups.

What are you doing now? Don't flip the script on me, when you, King
Little Richard have acted like some kind of a crazed cross posting
*clown* to the MS NG(s) spewing trash.

King Little Richard, you are kind of a nutty king. One day, you are
talking MS trash, and now everything is coming up roses with you?

I don't believe you are the tolerant king here, and you are lying
through your teeth king, because of your past actions.

I didn't think you would put the hook in your big mouth again big fish,
oh well.

Cast and he shall bite. ;-)

Oh, it's Duane. Hi Duane. Sorry if you can't recognise common sense when
you see it, but that's life, I guess. Note, however, that I have never
*initiated* a cross-post to an MS newsgroup. Nor have I ever posted
"trash" in MS groups - at least, not as I understand the word.

<rant snipped>

And it seems that you did bite. And biting on common sense has always left
an unpleasant taste in your mouth, hasn't it?

Over to you.

LOL, who are you kidding? If you knew it was me, you wouldn't have even

It's good to see that you have a proper sense of fealty to your betters,
but there really is no need to call me King. Sir will do.

<more rant snipped>
Ah, I see you misunderstood me. Well, that doesn't particularly surprise
me, but it is just a touch disappointing.

You are exactly as right as usual. No surprise there, either.

Go on and crawl back to your porcelain throne, king.

It's weak king. You don't have any game. I am the big King Fisher,
you're just the fish.

I got you inked in for 7/29/2008 at 1:00 am. That is on a Tuesday.

I'll see you then, king.

You take care until then. If you can't make it, please call my answering
service at 666-666-6666 and leave a message.

Water off a duck's back. I've been on Usenet long enough to develop the

conversation, or are you determined to continue proving to the world that
you're all talk and no tech?

You only think so because you don't understand it, subject.

Good bye king-ster it's been fun. It brings back the good old times of

Why? Does it have anything technical to say? No? Well, then, I won't
bother.

I will miss you just as much as you miss me, or possibly even less.

One day, when you're nearly full-grown, you may begin to understand.

Or not, of course.

You have a serious stiff upper lip, and your butt chicks are too tight,

Technically, if you want to un-stiff your butt chicks, then you have to
ease yourself off of that porcelain.

I am giving you sound advise here.
