active/inactive

Is it possible to make something like a button, edit box, etc...to become inactive or active when a msg is recieved?

eg.

Code:

---

case WM_COMMAND:
      switch(wParam)

    case IDC_BUTTON1:
// makes it active...
break;

    case IDC_BUTTON2:
// inactive again...

---

Its sloppy and probably has a mistake, but you get what I mean...

Thanks

yes,
you can call EnableWindow(hWnd,TRUE); to enable a control or you can call EnableWindow(hWnd,FALSE); to disable a control. It works with all windows, controls, menu's ect ect.
