ACalcutt 1 Posted August 20, 2005 can GUICtrlSetState be used to disable a group of controls? Andrew CalcuttHttp://www.Vistumbler.netHttp://www.TechIdiots.netIts not an error, its a undocumented feature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

therks 31 Posted August 21, 2005 Heh, you're mean LxP Your best bet is to co-reference all the control handles into an array, and create a function that will run through that array and disable/enable all the controls. My AutoIt Stuff | My Github Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LxP 7 Posted August 21, 2005 Oops, I think I am! :"> Time to get myself out of hot water:I thought that perhaps ACalcutt had used GUICtrlCreateGroup() to house a group of controls and was wondering if a single GUICtrlSetState() call on that Group control would disable all 'children' controls within. (I know that this can be done with some other GUI-oriented programming languages like Delphi.)My apologies ACalcutt and if you haven't tried this approach, it definitely might be worth a go. Do be sure to share your result with us if you do though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACalcutt 1 Posted August 21, 2005 nope...it didn't work...it just disabled the group and not its contents Andrew CalcuttHttp://www.Vistumbler.netHttp://www.TechIdiots.netIts not an error, its a undocumented feature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quaizywabbit 3 Posted August 22, 2005 you could create a Child window using GuiCreate() that 'zones off' the controls you wish to group disable/enable, then disable or enable the child window by itself. The only thing that's different using this approach is that the controls don't get 'greyed out'they should be though, perhaps i'll suggest this to the dev's.
