Enable/diable push button?

Hi,

I want to be able to enable/disable a push button on a dialog box. What I mean by that is: If I disable the button, it should be greyed out and not be able to be pushed.

Someone said use EnableWindow() but that requires a handle. Is this the correct function to use? If so, how do I determine the handle to a particular button?

Thanks,

Dan

If you are using a dialog (the button is on the dialog) then:

Code:

---

EnableWindow(GetDlgItem(HwndofDialog,controlID) ,FALSE);

---

else you can always use FindWindow and FindWindowEx:

Code:

---

HWND FindWindow(
  LPCTSTR lpClassName,  // pointer to class name
  LPCTSTR lpWindowName  // pointer to window name
);

HWND FindWindowEx(
  HWND hwndParent,      // handle to parent window
  HWND hwndChildAfter,  // handle to a child window
  LPCTSTR lpszClass,    // pointer to class name
  LPCTSTR lpszWindow    // pointer to window name
);

---

Thanks! worked like a charm..
