inactive part of a dialog

[CatBreath]

I want to do something that looks like this:


When the box is checked i want the editline to be grayish and in the background and when its not i want ti to be available.

Is therea way of doing that in ms?

Hi,

Yes, you can use the Windows API to enable/disable an object. Here's a simple example which shows how to enable/disable an edit control. Just run the script and hit the button to enable or disable the edit control:

Dialog>Dialog1
Caption=Test Dialog
Top=176
Width=279
Left=259
Height=118
Label=msLabel1,24,24
Edit=msEdit1,24,40,121,msEdit1
Button=Disable Edit,160,40,75,25,5
EndDialog>Dialog1

Show>Dialog1

//get handle of Test Dialog & msEdit1 edit box
LibFunc>user32,FindWindowA,dlgHwnd,TForm,Test Dialog
LibFunc>user32,FindWindowExA,edtHwnd,dlgHwnd,0,TEdit,msEdit1
Let>edit_enabled=1

Label>ActionLoop
GetDialogAction>Dialog1,r
if>r=2,exit
if>r=5
if>edit_enabled=1
Let>edit_enabled=0
Let>Dialog1.msButton2=Enable Edit
else
Let>edit_enabled=1
Let>Dialog1.msButton2=Disable Edit
endif
LibFunc>user32,EnableWindow,nowt,edtHwnd,edit_enabled
ResetDialogAction>Dialog1
endif
Goto>ActionLoop
Label>exit

I am using your libfunc code to enable and disable certain text boxs in my dialogs. But I am unable to do the same with radiogroups.

Can someone advise the correct way to identify a radio group or radio button using

LibFunc>user32,FindWindowA,dlgHwnd,TForm,Test Dialog
LibFunc>user32,FindWindowExA,edtHwnd,dlgHwnd,0,TEdit,msEdit1

Thankyou
