I could swear I read something about this here before, but I searched and
searched and found nothing.

I need to enable a button on a foreign window... Could this be done? I think
you could use an API message but I'm not sure which one to use.

Thanks for any help....

Hey FF,

I believe the API you are looking for is EnableWindow().

BOOL EnableWindow(HWND, BOOL);

[Garrett]

REM ----------------------------------------------------------------
REM ENABLEWINDOW [Enable/Disable window/control]
REM ----------------------------------------------------------------

LOADLIB USER32.DLL
%H = @strdel(<ID of Window/Control>,1,1)
%I = @lib(user32,EnableWindow,INT:,%H,"FALSE")
FREELIB USER32.DLL
REM
REM Return Values:
REM
REM If the window was previously disabled, the
REM return value is nonzero.
REM If the window was not previously disabled, the
REM return value is zero.
REM
REM [POSSIBLE PARAMETERS]
REM Enable parameter = TRUE
REM Disable parameter = FALSE

You should also be able to use the @sendmsg() function. The message to
send is WM_ENABLE.

WM_ENABLE == $000A or 10
WPARAM == '1' to enable, '0' to disable
LPARAM == 0

%%result = @sendmsg(windowHandle, 10, 0, 0);
REM Would disable the window identified by 'windowHandle'.
