How can I enable a button once some event has occurred?

How can I enable a button once some event has occurred?
Like that, initially the button is disabled. The user inputs a value in an edit box and the button becomes 'press-able'.

Hi,

assuming that you use the MFC, you could simply catch the EN_CHANGE notification from your edit control (using the class wizard), which contains code like this:

CString strTest;
m_edtInput.GetWindowText(strTest); // or use a string-member

m_btnSomeButton.EnableWindow(strTest.GetLength() != 0);

This should do the trick - it enables the button as soon as some text is typed into the edit.

Hope this helps,

Martin
