Enabling and Disabling Toolbar Buttons 1

[rchandr3]

Hi,

I am new to GUI in VC++. I use VC++ 6.0 and I want to enable/disbale particular toolbar button during runtime. It may be a silly question, but I badly need a solution!

Thanks in advance,

Ravi

Well surely it is not a silly question.I have gone through the same stage.

For enabling/disabling Toolbar Buttons at Runtime use SendMessage() like this:

FOR ENABLING BUTTON:
GetToolBarCtrl().SendMessage(TB_ENABLEBUTTON,<ButtonID>, (LPARAM)MAKELONG(TRUE,0));


FOR DISABLING BUTTON:
GetToolBarCtrl().SendMessage(TB_ENABLEBUTTON,<ButtonID>, (LPARAM)MAKELONG(FALSE,0));

I hope this helps!
