Hi Terry,

One approach is to handle the click event of the checkbox. In the click event, determine if you want the user to be able to change the state.

Private Sub CheckBox_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
   'Determine if the user can update the control
   ' ...
   Dim Obj As CheckBox = CType(sender, CheckBox)
   Obj.Checked = Not Obj.Checked
End Sub
