>Can you disable textboxes, but not the label? The Label and Textboxes are disabled because the parent container control is disabled (Enabled = .F.). The label (caption) inside the container show up dim as if its Enabled property is set to .F.. The textboxes are not dim. The users want to see the label as if it is enabled, that is, not dimmed.

Could use the SetAll to enable\disable but would have the same problem: a dimmed label caption. I cannot use it for the textboxes only because of some other issues here.

In the Enabled_Assign I set the Label.Enabled property to .T.. Now whenever the parent container's Enable property is set the Assign method fires and sets the Label.Enabled property to .T.; the caption displays normally..

Yes, my suggestion was to enable the label. I haven't thought to do it from the Container.Enabled_Assign and I'm not sure, it's perfectly valid to do it from there. I would just put this.container1.label1.enabled in the form's.Init rather than put this code into container.enabled_assign.

However, I might be wrong here...
