disabling dialog buttons

how do you disable/enable dialog buttons within code of an MFC program?

also is it possible to set whether a button is visable/not visable within the code? if so how?

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Do you have the controls mapped to CButton objects? If so just use:

Code:

---

m_theButton.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE); // or SW_SHOW

---

yep thanks parksie

that works for visable or not, but what about just disabling or "graying out" the button?

Try EnableWindow.

Code:

---

m_button.EnableWindow (FALSE);

---

I'll take the microsecond any day ;)

great thanks. i scoured the MSDN for these functions with no luck. i would have thought CButton would have its own functions to perform these tasks.

It does!

Since CButton inherits from CWnd it gets those member functions.
