Change Control enable status by WARlrus on 05-19-2009 at 04:05 PM

Hi,

I'm making a settings box for my latest script, and need some options to be enabled/disabled depending on others.

I thought the following code would work:

code:
winSettings.GetControlHandle("EdtUseTag").Enabled=true;

But it doesn't. I know that in web-page JS I would use getElementById(), but that doesn't work either.

Thanks in advance :-)

You need to use the Win32 API.

Enable:

Javascript code:
Interop.Call('user32', 'EnableWindow', winSettings.GetControlHandle('EdtUseTag'), true);

Disable:

Javascript code:
Interop.Call('user32', 'EnableWindow', winSettings.GetControlHandle('EdtUseTag'), false);

Thanks for that!

Seems like a long way around a simple problem, I'm surprised there's nothing in the API about this!
