How To Grey Out Disable OTher CheckBoxes

[subfighter]

Hello,

I have like 5 check boxes that the user can select which turn on/off for a command flvmdi.exe that i am running..

but if one of the Switches is selected it needs to be run alone with out any other switches. i need to DISABLE or GREYOUT the other check boxes so the user can not select them and I will uncheck them..

I was trying to figure out on how to GREY OUT the Checkbox and make it uncheckable?

any help appreciated

GuiCtrlSetState will do the trick:

thanks for your examples as they help me figure it out... as i just started using autoit a couple of days so i get stuck on some issues... but you guys got me in the right direction.

the part i was missing was the $GUI_DISABLE and SETSTATE.. makes sense now after seeing your examples.. i posted my script below in case somebody else wants another of example..

GUICtrlSetState($addx_switch, $GUI_DISABLE)

thanks again
