It'd be very useful to be able to lock a property grid item but still be able to use the buttons - sort of a variation on read only.  This way, the user is forced to use the color picker, rather than manually enter the color code (and possibly screw it up).

Hello,

just don't set ItemHasEdit flag:

Set Item = Category.AddChildItem(PropertyItemColor, "ToolbarColor", &HAA00FF)
Item.Flags = ItemHasComboButton

Oleg,

I've done that, and it still allows editing in the item.

Oleg, this code allows the user to type into that field.  Whatever they add to that field disappears as soon as the field loses focus, but they can still type there.




  Dim pgiColorDesc As PropertyGridItem
  Dim pgiColorItem As PropertyGridItem
 
  On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

  Set pgiColorDesc = pgiCategory.AddChildItem(PropertyItemString, sParentCaption)
  pgiColorDesc.ReadOnly = True
  Set pgiColorItem = pgiColorDesc.AddChildItem(PropertyItemColor, lblBackColor.Caption)
  pgiColorItem.Value = lBackColor
  Set pgiColorItem = pgiColorDesc.AddChildItem(PropertyItemColor, lblForeColor.Caption)
  pgiColorItem.Value = lForeColor
  pgiColorItem.flags = ItemHasComboButton
  pgiColorDesc.CaptionMetrics.BackColor = lBackColor
  pgiColorDesc.CaptionMetrics.ForeColor = lForeColor
  pgiColorItem.EnsureVisible

Wait a minute...  I'm a moron.  Just figured it out.

Disregard that previous code snippet.
