    Disabling a button

    Two questions:

    1) How can I diable a button, so it won't be possible to press on it.
    And how can I enable it again?


    2) How can I change control's style after it has already been declared?


    Thanks a lot guys.

    1. EnableWindow.

    edit:

    2. SetWindowLong/SetWindowLongPtr (GWL_STYLE flag).

    Is there a way to enable/disable with the control's ID, instead of handle?
