I wish it was that easy for me.

Code:SYS "SendMessage", hEditControl%, EM_SETREADONLY, 1, 0 : REM Set Read Only state
SYS "SendMessage", hEditControl%, EM_SETREADONLY, 0, 0 : REM Clear Read Only state

Thanks. Now all I have to do is find a way of making comboboxes and buttons(incl. radio buttons and checkboxes) RO as well.

If you are not familiar with the SendMessage function then you really shouldn't be attempting to program the Windows API. Spend some time learning the basics, then come back to the task.

Since you can't ever 'write' to buttons, there's no concept of them being 'read only'! As far as comboboxes are concerned, a 'read only' combobox would simply be a List Box (remember that a combobox is a combination of a text box - which you can write to - and a list box - which you can't)!
