Hi @ShengChi Lo , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A. Updated： From a design point of view you cannot modify this [ReadOnly(true)] attribute like this. Is there an easy alternative you can live with? You can choose to disable disableCloseBtnName when enableTabClose is false。

private bool enableTabClose = true;
private bool disableCloseBtnName = true;
public bool EnableTabClose
{
    get { return enableTabClose; }
    set
    {
        if (enableTabClose != value)
        {
            enableTabClose = value;
            Invalidate();
        }
    }
}

public bool DisableCloseBtnName
{
    get { return disableCloseBtnName; }
    set
    {
        if (enableTabClose)
        {
            if (disableCloseBtnName != value)
            {
                disableCloseBtnName = value;
                Invalidate();
            }
        }
    }
}

This is perfectly fine.

You can set two properties like this:

private bool enableTabClose = true;
private bool disableCloseBtnName = true;
public bool EnableTabClose
{
    get { return enableTabClose; }
    set
    {
        if (enableTabClose != value)
        {
            enableTabClose = value;
            Invalidate();
            DisableCloseBtnName = enableTabClose;
        }
    }
}

public bool DisableCloseBtnName
{
    get { return disableCloseBtnName; }
    set
    {
        if (disableCloseBtnName != value)
        {
            disableCloseBtnName = value;
            Invalidate();
        }
    }
}
