How to lock EditBox so it doesn't accept input?

Hi all,

Basically it's most on the thread's title. I've a checkbox on my addon config frame that should lock the editboxes on that frame so that user can't edit them accidentally (what happen to me a lot during test :P)

Thanks

I would think that using this method could do what you want:

Quote:

Frame:EnableMouse(enableFlag) - Set whether this frame will get mouse input

(http://www.wowwiki.com/Widget_API)

Edit:
I cannot remember (or test right now) if clicking a checkbox removes focus from a currently focused editbox. If not, you would have to add some code for that too, I guess.

Thanks that worked!

Here's the code in case someone might need it:

Code:

function chlAYLock_OnClick()

        if chlAYLock:GetChecked() == nil then

                -- Unlock text fields

                edbAYAutomessage:EnableKeyboard(true);

                edbAYInstance:EnableKeyboard(true);

                edbAYKeywords:EnableKeyboard(true);

                edbAYAnwer:EnableKeyboard(true);

        else

                -- lock text fields

                edbAYAutomessage:EnableKeyboard(false);

                edbAYInstance:EnableKeyboard(false);

                edbAYKeywords:EnableKeyboard(false);

                edbAYAnwer:EnableKeyboard(false);

        end

end
