    Question

    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?

    Ugh...MFC *cough*

    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?

    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.
