Help with Disabling a Control

[HockeyFan]

OK, it's Monday, it's raining...and I need an extra set of eyes to look at my script.

What I am trying to do is have the "OK" button in my script be disabled until text is typed in the "Last Name" {$InputlastName} Input box. Can someone take a look and see what I'm missing?

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
$font = "Arial Bold"
WinMinimizeAll()
GuiCreate("", 400, 316,-1, -1 , $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
GUISetBkColor (0xFFFFFF)
$GUIMainText = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Please type the following information: ", 20, 20, 350, 30)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 400, 0, $font)
GUICtrlSetColor ($GUIMainText, 0xFF0000)
$LabelFirstName = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("First Name:", 20, 70, 350, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 400, 0, $font)
$InputFirstName = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 20, 90, 350, 30)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 400, 0, $font)
GUICtrlSetColor ($InputFirstName, 0x0033FF)
$LabelLastName = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Last Name:", 20, 140, 350, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 400, 0, $font)
$InputlastName = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 20, 160, 350, 30)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 400, 0, $font)
GUICtrlSetColor ($InputlastName, 0x0033FF)
$OKButton6 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("OK", 135, 225, 120, 30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($OKButton6, "OKButton")
GuiSetState()

ControlDisable("Please type the following information: ", "OK", 8)

$dll = DllOpen("C:\WINDOWS\system32\user32.dll")
$TypedName = GUICtrlRead($InputlastName)
Do
    Sleep(100)
    $TypedName = GUICtrlRead($InputlastName)
Until $TypedName <> ""
ControlEnable("Please type the following information: ", "OK", 8)
DllClose($dll)

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd
Exit

Func OKButton()
    Exit
EndFunc

Thank you once again!!

Neveremind...I finally figured out what my mistake was. It helps to just walk away some times..

I was calling the wrong title. My script should have been:

ControlDisable("", "OK", 8)

:">

There's no need to use ControlDisable etc.... when your disabling/enabling controls with-in the script, see my above post.
