API Calls - Check if a Button is Enabled/Disabled

[Judgey]

Afternoon All,

Probably a simple answer but I cannot seem to find it 8-(

I want to check if a button on a dialog is Enabled or Disabled, I'm nearly There...

I've located the Dialog Window, found the handle for the button and I can simulate the button click all using API. But I need to check whether the btton is Enabled before I simulate the button click.

Does anybody know how to check the buttons enabled property in API once you have the handle ?

Cheers

Ken

Its ok I found it !

Private Declare Function IsWindowEnabled Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long

EnableWindow should do the enabling for you, and IsWindowEnabled can check if the button is enabled or not. Both are members of User32.

As not said: tested again - iswindowenabled worked
just fine!!

Or you can try with GetwindowLong
but you might have to find out if the byte I test
for Vb CommandButton is the same for the control
of the software you are looking at - as it might not
be the same...

Let us know if any solution works (I tried the
IsWindowEnabled but it does not seem to work...)
