Disabling existing controls in a dialog

[Luis E Cuadrado]

Hello Everybody: I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to disable existing control inside a Dialgo box. Ok this is what I want to do. I have a check box control and under that check box I have 2 combo boxes and 2 buttons. What I want to do is if I check the check box, the controls under the check box become enabled. And when I uncheck the check box, the controls under the check box become disabled. Any suggestions are more than welcome. Best regards, Luis E. Cuadrado :0)

Handle BN_CLICK for checkbox. In the event handler, use EnableWindow to switch other controls on/off. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com

What is "scratch" and why can everything be made from it?

Hi: Sorry for my ignorance, but does EnableWindow works with controls as well? thanks, Luis E. Cuadrado :0)

Create Control Variables Using the ClassWizard and Call Your_Control_Variable.EnableWindow(FALSE) ; To Disable the Control and Your_Control_Variable.EnableWindow(TRUE) ; to enable the Window and using Classwizard make a event Handler Corresponding to BN_CLICKED message of u check box and ur checkbox_control_variable.GetCheck() fuction to determine the check state..id it is true box checked else unchecked..handle the situation as u like...
