How to make checkbox ReadOnly

**kapoorsudhish** · 24th June 2010, 05:28

I have a requirement where i can only check(or uncheck) a check-box on certain operation till that time the check-box on the ui should be in readonly but enabled mode.
How can i have a checkbox to be able to change its state on certain operation (say button click) to make it editable else it should be enabled but read-only??

It would be better if you opt for setEnabled(false) instead of read only enabled mode.
setEnabled(false) wud also give an indication to the user that it cannot be clicked.

Yes, with setEnable(false) the check box will not be editable but what i need is the checkbox should be enabled but state should only be changed on button click and so till that time it should be enabled but in readonly mode.

How to do the same??
