Basic Question
-
Hi All, If I place a button in a dialog box, my perception is that the button should be the part of my dialog class. But when I see my dialog box there is no Button object. How can I access that Button object. I need that object because I want to enable and disable that button according to some condition. I also want to attach toottip to that button. Please let me know if further clarification is required.

You need to associate a variable with the button (how to do this depends of which IDE you are using). The variable type must be a CButton in order to access functionalities of your button.

Dialog class will be based on dilaog template resource, button would be part of that resource.

Apart from method Cedric has suggested, you can use
GetDlgItemfunction for accessing controls on dialog,too.GetDlgItem(IDC_MYBUTTON)->EnableWindow(FALSE);

If u r using VC++ Put the button in the Dialog. Right Click on it and select "add variable" Select access type (public/private) Select Variable type (CButton) Give a variable name (ex: m_buttonHello) Now in the source file (.cpp) for dialog class write: m_buttonHello.EnableWindow(TRUE) or m_buttonHello.EnableWindow(FALSE) wherever necessary Cheers ;)
