Hi Nadya,
Try SET NOTIFY OFF. It scopes to a datasession, so you'll need it in every form with a private datasession or once if you use default DS. I dunno about the beep; maybe SET NOTIFY will get rid of that, too (I don't hear one and I use ReadOnly all the time).
>If I set columns in a grid (or the whole grid itself) to be ReadOnly and then try to type something, I get a message: 'This control is read-only'. I also get beep signal. Today for some reason it starts irritating me. Is there a way to prevent this message from appearing? I tried checkbox.click event (for this particular column it was check box), but with no lack. I was thinking about adding this code into column.click itself, but not sure, it helps. Could you point me in right direction, if it's doable?
