Disabling buttons with bitmaps

[Luis E Cuadrado]

Hi: Does anyone know how to disable a button that has a bitmap on it? I'm trying with EnableWindow(TRUE/FALSE) and it disables the button but the bitmap it's gone. Any ideas? One more thing, the buttons are in a dialog. Any answer is more than welcome. Have a good day, Luis E. Cuadrado :0)

What kind of button is this? I mean, it's not your plain-vanilla CButton, right? Could it be that it's expecting a bitmap for the "Disabled" state, which you haven't provided? Regards, Alvaro

plain-vanilla CButton...that was a good one :laugh: Well, I think is a CButton because I added a member varialbe using Class Wizzard, and the button has an object ID. To be honest, I didn't wrote the code to make the button enabled and working. Someone else did it and is not with us anymore. I worked with the regular buttons before, but not with those that have bitmaps on it. I was looking arround the code and this is what I think the other person did: m_autoBitmap.LoadBitmap(IDB_AUTO); ::SendMessage(::GetDlgItem(m_hWnd, ID_AUTO_BTN), BM_SETIMAGE, IMAGE_BITMAP, (long)m_autoBitmap.operator HBITMAP()); Does this helps? If you need anything else let me know. Thanks again Alvaro, Luis E. Cuadrado :0)

Check the properties for ID_AUTO_BTN (in the resource editor). Make sure it has "Bitmap" checked. I'm not familiar with regular buttons with bitmaps, using the CButton class. You may want to consider using the CBitmapButton class instead which handles 4 different images for the different states. I don't know if CButton handles the Disabled state properly. Regards, Alvaro
