Silverlight 4 : Restrict checking of checkbox to box only - silverlight-4.0

I wanted to know if its possible to disallow checking/unchecking of checkbox on clicking checkbox label and only allow checking/uncecking of the box on the box only.
PS: I want to pull it off without using an additional label for the checkbox i.e I wish to disable check/uncheck of checkbox on the checbox label

checking the template (here), can't see clearly how to do that. Additionally it does not have any NamedPart. For me the easiest way is that you suggested... or create your own checkbox.

Making the combo box as readonly in Haml

I have created a combo box in Haml (Form_tag). I need to make it as not editable and to pass the value while clicking the submit button. I have tried "readonly" property. While using that I can able to edit that. I also tried "disabled" property. But it pass null value for that combo box.
Could you please help me on this?
I got the answer . If we use the readonly attribute in dropdown, it won't work. It will list the values in the dropdown when clicked.
For that we need to disable the dropdown and add a hidden field to that drop down which holds the selected value for that dropdown list.
Thanks,

Checkbox with image and autosize

In Word 2012 I have seen the following checkbox:
I am wondering if this checkbox is a .NET control with an image assigned to it (with property "imagealign" being middle right) or if this is a custom solution by MS for their Office GUIs.
I can reproduce the appearance, but I am unable to easily check if the user clicks the checkbox (and wants to change its state) or the info button and wants to show the tooltip.
Also, I have to add some spaces at the end of the checkbox text, else the image is under the text if the checkbox autosize property is set to True.
I would tend to think that the checkbox is a custom solution by MS or perhaps the image is a separate control.
Does anybody know more about this?
I think you are looking for
Checkbox.AutoSize = False
CheckBox.Image = "Your Image"
CheckBox.ImageAlign = MiddleRight
But this way you won't be able to distinguish if the user clicks the checkbox or the info button to show the tooltip.
As far as I know, there is no control available at .NET which allows this behavior, so I suppose they are using separate controls.
I think you'll need to use a PictureBox near the CheckBox and then use CheckBox_CheckedChanged and PictureBox_Click events to do whatever you want on each case.

In a group check box is it possible to select an option by clicking anywhere in the screen and not exactly inside the check box?

From a group check box is it possible to select only one option. And I want to know whether a particular option can be selected without exactly clicking inside the check box. i,e Is it possible to select an option by just clickig somewhere in the screen where the text of the option is displayed.
I was testing an application and i found that it was able to select an option even without clicking inside the check box, so wanted to know whether that is a validation bug!!
I do not think that it is a bug if there is only one radio button or check box on the screen. Such type of functionality is sometimes provided in order to provide extra functionality to the user. There are certain validations that are capable to do this. But if there are multiple check boxes or radio buttons on the screen then it must be a bug. Because in case of multiple check boxes on the screen the script does not know which button to check.

Turn off field programmatically in VB.Net

I'm creating an addin button in Arcmap via VB.net that when clicked, runs the identify tool. But I want only selected fields to appear in the identify dialog. I thought of hiding the unnecessary fields and then showing them again after the button is used.
Does anyone know how to programmatically turn off/on field?
you have to iterate the fields in layer and then set visible property into false .

vb.net How to make a DropDownList with readonly appearance

I am developing desktop application using vb.net and vs2008.
I have a DropDownList that I don't want it interact with use when the info is locked.
But if I disable it, it is greyed out and the text is not easy to read.
Is there any way to make radiobutton like readonly textbox?
I want text of the DropDownList looks black and itself is not clickable.
The above shows a disabled DropDownList with greyed out text and a readonly textbox
Try this:
Enable="false"
Place it within your <asp:DropDownList> tag.
I recently encountered a similar issue. My solution was to remove all other values of the DropDownList except the one that is selected. This will keep the text as black as opposed to grey. Users will be able see the existing value and click it but will not be able to change it.
Hope this helps.
No, you can't use CSS in a desktop app. When you disable the dropdownlist by setting Disabled=true; or Enabled=false (whatever the case is), you can also change the Font properties to make it easier to read. You can set other properties such as Border, BorderStyle, etc, etc.
Keep the control enabled. In the GOTFOCUS event, use SENDKEYS to send a {tab} to the form. the user will not be able to change it! By the way, workt for ALL controls, that a user can focus.
