Hello! I need some help with changing properties for a box before activating it.

For example. I need to disable a drop-down list by changing its properties to "EnableEditing - Flase" before activating it. So I need some kind of a box sending a commando to the drop-down list telling it to change its properties without me needing to do it. Does a box like that exist or can I accomplish it in any other way?

If you need more explanation I will gladly try to tell you more. Thanks!

  mk! mk! I require your VEE experteese or should I say VEExperteese. . .
  
  I have a panel containing only 4 OK buttons. What I want is that the panel when 1 of the OK buttons is pressed on it should activate another box in another panel (depending on what OK button you pressed), when this happens I´d like the first panel to hide itself and the second should then show itself.
  
  I haven´t found a way to achive this. My panel wont hide unless all 4 OK buttons are pressed. In other words the userfunction won´t finnish unless all OK buttons are pressed. This kind of defeats the purpose of have 4 OK buttons.
  
  I need to find a way to do this!
  
  please if you are there, answer

Thanks! This really gave us some ideas and opened up a lot of opportunities! Only one more question. On your program I need to make the decision if true or false. Can I somehow make that decision rely on what i press in earlier boxes.

For example: Lets say that I have an message box giving me the opportunities to click either "Yes" or "No". If I click "Yes" I would like it to automatically disable two chosen drop-lists and if I click "No" I would like it to disable two other drop-lists. So I do not want to click true or false, I want that to be decided automatically depending on which button I click.

If you need more explanation I could post a program showing you what I mean, or at least try to do it. Thanks :)
