Simply use SendDlgItemMsg() to send an EM_READONLY message to the edit control. You pass a true or a false, depending on what you want the new attribute to be. I believe that you can also use the attributes of the control by doing something like EditBox.Attr.Style &= READONLY, although I am not really sure about which values to use in this case. -- yev_g@athena.mit.edu 500 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA.
