ComboBox enabled not working in VB

I have a read-only ComboBox in a form. I used a button to set it to enabled, the vb script is like: ThisForm.Components("ComboBox1").Enabled = True

But it did not work. Anyone knows why?

p.s. If I set the visible to true/false using the button, it has no problem.

vbscript and javascript are somewhat similar in their coding and i believe for a combo / list box there is a setting disabled. so something like this: document.getElementById("mySelect").disabled=true

There is no disabled property. I got a compiling error when I did this: ThisForm.Components("SlsmanEdit").Disabled = False

I used: ThisForm.Components("COMPONENT_NAME_HERE").Enabled = False and it became disabled.

What event/situation are you trying to disable/enable the combobox?

The Enabled property only controls whether you can interact with the component on the form. To set its value, you have to do:

ThisForm.Components("ComboBox1").Value = "1"

OR

ThisForm.Components("ComboBox1").Value = "0"

BTW, I am assuming you meant CheckBox. A ComboBox (drop-down) field, you would have to set the selected index value.

I set Read-Only For Existing Records to True in the Dynamic Enabling and Disabling properties for the comboBox, which makes my script not working. When I set it to False, it works now. Thank you guys.
