Do something like this:

BOOL b = EnumChildWindows( hWndDlg, EnumFunc, NULL );

BOOL CALLBACK EnumFunc( HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam )
{
EnableWindow( hwnd, FALSE );
}

Are you wanting to disable all of the controls on the dialog, or the dialog itself?

Try this:

HWND hwnd = ::GetTopWindow(this->GetSafeHwnd());
// while we have a valid hwnd,
// loop through all child windows
while (hwnd)
{
// do something with the hwnd
// and get the next child control's hwnd
hwnd = ::GetNextWindow(hwnd, GW_HWNDNEXT);
::EnableWindow(hwnd, FALSE);
}

If you want to disable the control on this dialog, the MFC-way of doing it would be creating a variable bool ControlsEnabled; and use OnCmdUI-Handler on each Control to do pCmdUI->Enable( ControlsEnabled /*&& other conditions*/);

I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising: and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress, while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation." -- Caius Petronius, Roman Consul, 66 A.D.
