Custom FileBox behavior. preventing edit

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Using the PropertyGrid sample program as an example, I would like to create something similar to the CCustomItemFileBox class in CustomItems.h.
However, I would like to prevent the user from editing the edit field, but still allow them to press the [...] file dialog button.
If I set the flags to disallow editing, the little file dialog button disappears.  Also, if I override the OnChar() method, it does not prevent entries in the edit box.
How can I acheive the desired behavior?

	Thanks! That worked perfectly. Don't know how I missed that.
