disabling a textbox

[Pkenty]

How do you disable a TextBox in a datagrid in the Code
behind?
im using e.item.cells[1].Enabled = false..
But this doesnt stop the user actually typing anything in
textbox..just shows as grey?
any idea?

Hi,

((TextBox)e.Item.Cells[2].Controls[0]).Enabled=false; or
((TextBox)e.Item.Cells[2].Controls[1]).Enabled=false;

depends on the index of your textbox control on your datagrid cell.

Hope this helps.
